Residents and businesses in Moonah, Glenorchy, Claremont and surrounds 📢
Three flood guides covering the Glenorchy Local Government Area are now available for community input.
🟠 Glenorchy City and suburb – revised and updated
🟠 Moonah/ Derwent Park – revised and updated
🟠 Claremont and surrounds – new!
Low-lying areas of Glenorchy and surrounding suburbs can flood after intense rain, sometimes with little or no specific warning. It is important residents and business owners know their flood risk, and plan for floods.
These guides provide you with advice on:
🟠 Local flood risks from the Tasmanian strategic flood maps and Glenorchy Council’s local detailed flood studies.
🟠 How to get ready for emergencies, and be ready for storms and floods.
Flooding can cause widespread and significant damage. It’s important for all Tasmanians to be aware of any flood risk that might exist where they live, visit, own property, or work. Areas around Grove Road and some other low-lying areas near waterways are prone to flooding. Even if floods don’t affect your property, storms and flood events can mean roads may be cut, and there may be power and internet outages.
Know your risk, get ready, reduce risk where you can, connect with others, stay alert and act safe.
