Worth knowing about Upper Coomera

Floodwaters badly damaged the John Muntz Causeway in Upper Coomera after ex-Cyclone Debbie in March 2017. The Queensland Reconstruction Authority also named the suburb among those with the most damage from the 2023 Christmas storms. Big storms like these push stormwater drains hard. We connect Upper Coomera households with a licensed local plumber when a drain blocks or overflows.

Upper Coomera had 27,180 residents at the 2021 Census (ABS QuickStats).

Homes in Upper Coomera range from rural-residential blocks first subdivided in the early 1980s to estates built since the 1990s. After heavy rain, work out which drain is the problem. Water pooling around a stormwater pit or spilling from a downpipe is a stormwater issue. A slow toilet, a gurgling shower or a spilling overflow relief gully points to the sewer drain, and the blockage is usually further down the line.

Stormwater should never reach the sewer. Between 2020 and 2023, the City of Gold Coast inspected about 4,500 properties in 12 suburbs and found stormwater entering the sewer at 16% of them. Check that no downpipe, yard drain or pool overflow runs into your overflow relief gully. If one does, a licensed plumber should fix it.
