Public notice: Flash flooding across Central Highlands

Posted on October 19, 2022

Heavy rainfall across the Central Highlands has caused flash flooding in several areas, and more is still to come.

Gemfields residents are asked to understand their risks and prepare to enact their household emergency plans, with both Policeman Creek and Retreat Creek catchments already saturated.

Near Rolleston, the Dawson Highway is closed to all traffic at Panorama Creek due to water over the road.

The Capricorn Highway east of Emerald is restricted to one lane at Winton Creek.

More local road and highway closures are very likely.
