Residents are encouraged to stay informed by monitoring warnings issued by NSW SES on their website, HazardWatch and Facebook pages, the Hazards Near me mobile app, local radio or television, and by following the latest weather information from the Bureau of Meteorology online.
Water releases from Yarrawonga Weir had caused river level rises along the Murray River between Yarrawonga and Barmah.
River levels are gradually falling, however, low-lying areas including campsites and sections of parkland adjacent to the river may still be impacted.
Campers are encouraged to remain aware of your local conditions, as floodwater may still impact access tracks, making them impassable to all vehicle types.
Yarrawonga Regional Park and Murray River Reserve along the Murray River, between Yarrawonga and Cobram, remain closed due to flooding.
What you need to do:
- Consider the consequences of road and bridge closures — damage to roads, bridges or buildings caused by flooding and landslip may still exist in your area. Consider the need to make alternate arrangements for work, children, and travel.
- Be aware of road hazards including mud and debris.
- Remain vigilant as there could still be water in low-lying areas.
- Obey all signs about road closures and instructions from emergency services.
- If there is a flooded road, turn around, find a safer way or wait until floods ease.
- Avoid storm drains and pipes, ditches, ravines, creeks, and rivers.
- If you are isolated and require resupply, contact NSW SES on 132 500.
