At least 350 million litres of raw sewage spilled into a river before it was detected by Gold Coast City Council, with the spill being investigated by the state government.

A Queensland council is under investigation by the state government after at least 350 million litres of raw sewage spilled into a Gold Coast river.

Wildlife Queensland Gold Coast and Hinterland branch president Sally Spain labelled the spill one of the biggest “environmental disasters this city has ever faced”.
