The flood map is for general awareness. It shows predicted flood areas using pre-existing data and advice issued by the Australian Government’s Bureau of Meteorology.  Even if your property isn’t marked as flooded, it could still be at risk. Always pay attention to local conditions, Bureau of Meteorology warnings, refer to your household emergency plan and use your own judgment to stay safe. 

Flood Cameras
The images displayed on this website are captured from flood monitoring cameras and are typically updated at 10.00 AM and 2.00 PM during normal operation. During a flood event, the aim is to update images every 30 minutes; however, update frequency may be impacted by telecommunications issues or other unforeseen circumstances.
