Burringbar and Crabbes Creeks Flash Flood Alert

Thank you for your feedback

The survey on the Burringbar and Crabbes Creeks Flash Flood Alert system closed on Sunday 15 June 2025.

Thank you to everyone who registered for the service and shared their feedback. Your input will help inform whether the alert system should be continued, adjusted, expanded or discontinued.

While the survey is now closed, the flash flood alert system remains active as we complete our review. Community feedback will be considered alongside a technical assessment of the system’s performance. A recommendation will be presented to the Floodplain Management Advisory Committee in the coming months.

We appreciate your input and your support in helping improve flood preparedness and community safety.

Learn more about the project

The flash flood alert system was developed to provide timely warnings for flash flooding in the Burringbar Creek, Mooball Creek and Crabbes Creek areas — locations known to flood with little or no warning.

The system uses a combination of local rain and stream gauges, along with Bureau of Meteorology prediction tools, to forecast potential flash flooding. When certain thresholds are met, alerts are distributed via SMS, email or recorded voice calls to registered users.
