The 2010–2011 Queensland floods were a series of major floods that affected much of Queensland, Australia, between December 2010 and January 2011. Prolonged and extensive rainfall fell across large areas of the state on catchments already saturated by a strong La Niña event, following the wettest December on record for Queensland. As of March 2012, 33 deaths had been attributed to the floods, with a further three people missing, later declared deceased by the State Coroner in June 2012. The event ranked among the most destructive disasters in Australian history. Flooding occurred across much of central and southern Queensland, affecting every major river system south of the Tropic of Capricorn and inundating numerous towns and cities, including Rockhampton, Emerald, Bundaberg, Toowoomba, Ipswich, and Brisbane. More than 200,000 people and 41 local government areas were affected, while over 78 percent of the state was declared a disaster zone, impacting more than 2.5 million people. Approximately 29,000 homes and businesses experienced some degree of inundation. The disaster caused 33 deaths, with a further three people later declared deceased. The floods caused widespread damage to infrastructure, agriculture, mining, and communities. Insured losses were estimated at A$2.38 billion, while a 2016 assessment estimated the total economic cost at A$14.1 billion, making the disaster one of the costliest in Australian history. The event prompted one of Australia's largest disaster responses, including large-scale evacuations, deployment of the Australian Defence Force, establishment of the Queensland Floods Commission of Inquiry, and the creation of the Queensland Reconstruction Authority. Subsequent litigation over the operation of Wivenhoe Dam resulted in a negligence ruling in 2019 before being overturned on appeal in 2021, with the High Court of Australia refusing a final appeal in 2022.
