The Brisbane River is tidal as far upstream as Mount Crosby, so lower river suburbs can peak again on each high tide. Suburban creeks such as Oxley, Norman, Bulimba, Moggill and Enoggera flood fast, and backflow prevention devices help stop the river backing up into them.

Secure Document Destruction in Brisbane, FAQs
On-site or off-site shredding?
On-site means a truck shreds in your car park and you can watch it happen, which some compliance regimes want. Off-site is cheaper per kilo and goes to a secure plant. Both should end with a certificate of destruction.
How long do I have to keep records before shredding?
It depends on the record. Many Australian business and tax records must be kept for five to seven years, and employee and health records longer, so check the retention rule before destroying anything.
