Council has had to close the following road today due to flood damage:
The Clarence Way at Yabbra ScrubRoads that were closed yesterday that remain closed are:
Boundary Creek Road at the first causeway Boorabee Creek Road at the first causeway Lions Road from Murphy Standfield’s culvert due to a landslip that has worsened Barker Bridge on Williams Road Gradys Creek Road at the last causeway Bolziccos Road Davis Road Walsh Road at the bridge Geneva Street (remains closed) Capeen Creek Road (remains closed) Lillian Rock Road (remains closed)Due to continuing adverse weather conditions, Council has only been able to undertake minimal road works.

The situation on the Bruxner Highway and Summerland remains unchanged.
The Bruxner Highway continues to be restricted to one lane at two locations west of Mummulgum. Landslips have closed one lane of the highway on the Mallanganee Range and near Rogers Road east of Tabulam. Both lane closures are expected to remain in place for some time.
