ELEVATED RIVER LEVELS OCCURRING IN PARTS OF MOORE AND HILL RIVER CATCHMENTS

Recent moderate rainfall across the Moore and Hill River catchments has caused river level rises, with a minor flood peak recorded at Long Pool Bridge on Saturday evening.

No further rainfall of significance is forecast over the Flood Watch area, however elevated river and creek levels are likely to continue during Sunday and possibly into Monday, with areas of localised flooding and overland inundation possible across parts of the Moore and Hill River catchments, including Moora.

Some communities and homesteads may be isolated. Check road conditions before travelling.
