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

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

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

Parts of Hobart Central Business District (CBD) and surrounding areas are at risk of flooding from Hobart Rivulet and nearby minor waterways.  Please see the flood plan for South Hobart <\/a>for Hobart Rivulet flood information above Gore Street. There are also other plans for surrounding areas such as New Town- Lenah Valley<\/a>. See Hobart City Council’s flood mapping<\/a> in more detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you live, work or often visit Hobart city and surrounding areas, it is important you understand what a flood can look like so you can be prepared. There is likely to be a flood that causes significant damage in the area at least once in your lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Parts of Hobart are prone to flash flooding, depending on how rain falls across Kunanyi\/ Mount Wellington. This means there can be little warning before waterways flood. There can also be stormwater run-off in other places if there is heavy rain. This can be difficult to predict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flooding may isolate some areas for up to 6 hours but is more likely to be for just a few hours. You should prepare for isolation plus power or telecommunications outages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some roads may be flooded. Traffic is likely to be congested. Travel may be difficult or impossible. If you are safe at home or wherever you are at the time, it is usually best you stay there until the flooding goes down. Flooding around Hobart generally only lasts a few hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
