If the Huon River has a major flood, low lying areas along the river\u2019s east side south of Huonville can be flooded, particularly if tides are high. The Channel Highway and Cygnet Coastal Road are likely to be impassable in several places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some other areas can also have flash flooding from local minor waterways that join the Huon River if there is heavy local rain. Flash flooding means there can be little specific warning beyond forecasts for heavy rain or severe weather. Agnes Rivulet and nearby creeks can flood parts of Cygnet.  Kellaways Creek and its tributaries can flood parts of Pelvarata and Woodstock. There are also areas of Nicholls Rivulet, Gardners Bay and Garden Island Creek that can be flooded from minor local waterways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The maps in this guide show the level of flooding that has a 1% chance of happening any year. You are likely to experience flooding such as that shown in the maps in your lifetime. Tasmanians need to prepare for flood events that may not happen often as well as the minor flooding they may have experienced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even if your home is not inundated, you should be prepared for isolation plus potential power and telecommunications outages. The Channel Highway may be cut at Huonville and some other places during a major flood event.  Depending on where the rain falls and how heavy it is, roads leading to the Channel such as Pelvarata Road, Nicholls Rivulet Road and Woodbridge Hill Road may also be impassable. Travel in the area is likely to be difficult or impossible until roads are clear.  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

Areas south of Huonville are exposed to weather systems from the West, South and East. The area can have heavy rain. As an example, the area around Pelverata had major flooding in August 2022, damaging some properties, destroying a bridge and isolating surrounding areas. Cygnet has historically also had damaging floods, for example, in April 1917.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
