The death toll in Queensland’s flood crisis has risen to 17.

State Premier Anna Bligh says the body of a mature-aged woman had been recovered at a home in Grantham in the Lockyer Valley.

Ms Bligh said the woman’s body was recovered in a home which had been searched twice before.

The discovery was made during a final search of the building.

She says some of the houses are full of a lot of debris.

Fourteen people are still missing.

Authorities are warning some may never be found.
