Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has appointed former Governor Paul de Jersey as disaster recovery coordinator for the Fraser coast, as the region continues to battle raging floodwaters.
Maryborough recorded over 650 millimeters of rain in the past 24 hours, however Queensland police have since withdrawn an emergency declaration in the CBD to begin recover efforts.
This comes after the body of a 52 year old man was recovered from flood waters near Tiaro, and police continue to search for a 14 year old girl who has been missing near Gympie since Saturday.
