This is expected to result in minor increases to the current levels flowing downstream of the East Mirrool Creek Regulator towards Tabbita.
Flooding will initially affect low-lying farmland and local roads around Widgelli, Benerembah and Barren Box Swamp.
Land owners and farmers adjacent to rivers and creeks should monitor river levels and the weather, and:
- If necessary relocate or secure farm machinery, irrigation pumps and other equipment.
- Plan/consider when to move livestock as roads may close early.
- If necessary relocate or move livestock to higher ground.
- Never drive ride or walk through floodwater.
