Bridge river flood update generic graphic

As the predicted Macleay River flood peak approaches Kinchela Creek and Belmore River, the water level is nearing the required level for opening the flood relief structures.

Please be prepared that in the event of an unexpected river rise, the relief gates at Kinchela Creek and Belmore River are required to be opened.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as required.

Landholders in the Lower Macleay are advised to monitor the situation carefully and act accordingly.
