River levels remain high at the Kempsey Yacht Club river gauge because of recent rainfall. Consequently, flooding of roads and farmland is expected to continue. We expect flooding to affect low lying land and Squires Walk in the area of the Hatfield Brook Kempsey.
Kempsey Flood Alleviation Scheme is currently operational.
Predicted peak:- Kempsey Yacht Club 6.4m to 6.7m, Wednesday morning, 11/12/2024.
No significant rainfall is forecast. We expect river levels to remain high over the next few days.
We are closely monitoring the situation. Please avoid low lying footpaths near local watercourses and plan driving routes to avoid low lying roads near rivers, which may be flooded, and avoid contact with flood water.
This message will be updated by 11am on Thursday, 12/12/2024, or as the situation changes.
