Flood Warning Number: 5

MINOR FLOODING OCCURRING AT BRENDA AND GOODOOGA

MINOR FLOODING LIKELY AT KENEBREE AND POSSIBLE AT WEILMORINGLE AND GOODWINS FROM THURSDAY ONWARDS

Multiple flood peaks are causing minor flooding along the Culgoa, Birrie, and Bokhara Rivers. The main flood peak along the Culgoa River is now around Brenda and may cause minor flooding at Weilmoringle from Friday and Kenebree from Thursday as it travels downstream.

Along the Birrie and Bokhara Rivers, river levels are peaking above the minor flood level at Goodooga. Downstream along the Bokhara River, minor flooding may develop at Goodwins from Thursday.

Upstream in Queensland, another flood peak is now approaching Whyenbah, which may cause renewed or prolonged flooding along the Culgoa, Birrie, Bokhara and Narran Rivers in the coming days and weeks. Additionally, further rainfall is forecast across the catchment for the remainder of Wednesday into Thursday, which may cause small renewed rises depending on the timing and location of the heaviest falls. This situation is being closely monitored, and this warning will be updated as required.
