UPDATE: Thank you to all who attended our flood study information sessions and provided additional information. You can find the final reports at the link located at the top right-hand side of the page.

Cyclone Debbie ripped through our region in March 2017.

This saw flooding that some residents say was the worst they have ever seen.

The community provided valuable feedback on the flooding they experienced during severe Tropical Cyclone Debbie in Sandy Creek, Rocky Dam Creek and Funnel Creek catchment areas at various community consultation sessions held earlier this year.

The information was used to calibrate the models used in the draft flood studies and determine areas where council can improve rainfall and river data collection into the future.

Council was successful in receiving funding assistance to undertake the flood studies from the Australian and Queensland Governments through the 2017- 2018 Natural Disaster Resilience Program (NDRP).

  • CLOSED: This survey has concluded.

    Because the purpose of this survey is to capture eyewitness accounts of the overland flooding experienced in your area during 28-30 March 2017, we ask that you register your details to participate in the survey.

    Overland flooding refers to water that runs across the land after rain, either before it enters a creek or stream, or after rising to the surface naturally from underground.

    The information you provide will be used by flood engineers to create a model of the flooding experienced. The flood study will make recommendations to improve planning, emergency management and disaster preparedness in the catchments, and help build disaster resilience in communities.
