Flood Warning Number: 15

RIVER AND CREEK LEVELS REMAIN ELEVATED THROUGHOUT THE MARY RIVER CATCHMENT WITH CHANCE OF RENEWED RISES INTO THURSDAY

River levels have now fallen below minor flood levels throughout the catchment with the exception of Teddington Weir, where minor flooding is easing. However, river and creek levels remain elevated throughout the catchment.
Showers and the chance of a thunderstorm are forecast for the remainder of Wednesday and Thursday, which may cause renewed creek and river level rises.

The situation is being closely monitored and this warning will be updated as required.
