Riverine flooding information for New Town Rivulet and its tributaries. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Parts of New Town and Lenah Valley are subject to flooding from New Town Rivulet or its tributaries such as Pottery Creek, Brushy Creek or Maypole Creek. You are likely to experience flooding such as that shown in the map at least once in your lifetime. See Hobart City Council’s flood mapping<\/a> \u0e2b\u0e23\u0e37\u0e2d Glenorchy City Council’s flood mapping<\/a> for more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like most of Hobart, New Town and Lenah Valley are prone to flash flooding so there is often very little warning. As well as riverine flooding, there is also likely to be additional minor flooding caused by stormwater run-off. This can be difficult to predict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if your home is not inundated, you should be prepared for isolation plus potential power and telecommunications outages. Flooding may isolate parts of Lenah Valley for up to 6 hours, depending on the rainfall across Kunanyi\/ Mount Wellington.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travel in the area is likely to be difficult or impossible until roads are clear and safe.  In a major flooding event, roads in and around Hobart are likely to be cut as other areas of Hobart are inundated. Traffic is likely to be congested. If you are safe at home or elsewhere, it is usually best you stay where you are until the flooding subsides, unless there is an emergency. If you need to evacuate, you should leave early, before flood waters rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
