Stay up to date with flood warnings and road closures

23 March 2021

The Southern Downs Local Disaster Management Group has moved to ALERT level and Council will keep the community updated on any developments via the Disaster Dashboard on Council’s website.

Current Road Closures

A number of roads across the region are currently impacted by the rain and an updated road closure information can be found on Council’s website at: http://disasterdashboard.sdrc.qld.gov.au/.

Council has crews out installing signage, however the community should not enter flood waters even if signs are not yet installed.

Dam Level Update

Water is currently flowing into all three dams. Council’s website has been updated this morning at: https://www.sdrc.qld.gov.au/living-here/water-wastewater/dam-levels

Remember:  IF IT’S FLOODED – FORGET IT.

Please ensure that you don’t drive through flood waters.
