Residents across Townsville should stay informed as rain continues to fall across the local government area.
The Townsville Local Disaster Management Group remains stood up as the Bureau of Meteorology advises of further heavy and locally intense rainfall across the region.
TLDMG Chair Andrew Robinson said residents needed to stay informed and continue listening to advice.
“Residents across the Townsville area should stay informed and continue listening to advice as rain continues across the region,” Cr Robinson said.
“The Bureau has advised there is the potential for strong showers and thunderstorms to produce localised heavy to intense rainfall, which may lead to flash flooding. This is expected to continue throughout the morning.
“A king tide is also expected to reach its peak of 3.83m today. Residents in suburbs prone to king tides including Railway Estate, South Townsville, Hermit Park and Hanran Street and Ogden Street in Townsville City should prepare for the impacts of the upcoming king tide, including moving items to higher ground where necessary.
“The TLDMG remains stood up and will continue to meet regularly until the weather event subsides.”
