Roads affected by local flooding

Heavy rainfall can cause localised flooding and impact roads across Redlands Coast. Flooding in neighbouring council areas may also disrupt transport routes into and out of the area.

Council uses flood cameras at selected locations to help provide timely information about local conditions. For the latest footage and road impacts, visit the Flood Cameras page.

For current road closures and road condition updates, visit the Redlands Coast Disaster Dashboard. You can also sign up to Redlands Coast Alerts to receive notifications about flooded roads and other emergency events.

Roads that may be affected by local flooding

Your safest evacuation route may change during a disaster due to flooding or other hazards. The roads below are a guide to locations that have experienced flooding in the past. Conditions can change quickly and flooding may also occur on other roads, in low-lying areas and at locations not included in this list. Follow the safest available route, stay up to date with official advice on the Disaster Dashboard and refer to Evacuation in a disaster for guidance on evacuating safely. Never drive through floodwater. If it's flooded, forget it.
