Residents and businesses in the Kingborough and surrounding areas 📢

Two flood guides covering the Kingborough area are now available for community input.

🟠 Kingston and surrounds: https://www.ses.tas.gov.au/flood-plan/kingston

🟠 D’Entrecasteaux surrounds: https://www.ses.tas.gov.au/flood-plan/dentrecasteaux

These guides provide you with advice on:

🟠 Local flood risks from the Tasmanian strategic flood maps and Kingborough 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, and 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 Kingston Beach, Snug and Adventure Bay are prone to flooding. Even if floods don’t affect your property, storms and flood events can mean roads may be cut, and power and internet outages might occur.

Know your risk, get ready, reduce risk where you can, connect with others, stay alert and act safe.
