The maps in this guide show the likely peak extent of flooding that has a 2%, 1% and 0.5% chance of happening in any one year (known as Annual Exceedance Probability, or AEP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Major flooding over roads and bridges could cut off Ouse from other towns. Some properties near the river in Ouse could flood. Rural areas around Ouse can flood, impacting livestock, fences, equipment and lives. The Ouse River can rise quickly when Lake Augusta begins to overflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are likely to be road closures during a flood in this area, including parts of the Lyell Highway near<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ouse,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wayatinah,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tarraleah,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Derwent Bridge and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>other locations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ellendale could be cut off with several roads flooded. The Wilderness Hotel in Derwent Bridge could be cut off. Campgrounds and parks in the area are likely to flood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Miena, Brady\u2019s Lake, Dee and Fentonbury are unlikely to be affected by flooding, but there may be power and internet cuts and flooded roads isolating these communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is another flood guide for Bothwell to Hamilton and areas around the River Clyde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In your lifetime, you are likely to experience flooding such as that shown in the maps. 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<p>Even if your home is not inundated, you should be prepared for isolation and potential power and telecommunications outages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travel in the area may be difficult or impossible until roads are clear.&nbsp; 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<p>Listen to ABC local radio 936AM for warnings and advice, but please note that radio coverage may be poor in many parts of this area. It may be difficult to access up to date information in a situation that can change very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"880\" src=\"https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ellendale-flood-map-v2.png\" alt=\"Ellendale flood map\" class=\"wp-image-9079\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ellendale-flood-map-v2.png 622w, https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Ellendale-flood-map-v2-212x300.png 212w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u60a8\u6709\u6d2a\u6c34\u98ce\u9669\u5417\uff1f<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Derwent catchment has a long history of flooding. Most recently, in late August 2024, a prolonged wind and rain event caused widespread road closures and damage. In 2016, widespread flooding in this area caused the tragic loss of a life. There was also extensive damage to property, equipment, significant loss of livestock and community assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other flooding events in the upper Derwent include August 2009, August 2005, August 2004, April 1996, August 1970, April 1960 (very significant), 1944, and others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"560\" height=\"396\" src=\"https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Derwent-Bridge-flood-map.png\" alt=\"Derwent Bridge flood map\" class=\"wp-image-9080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Derwent-Bridge-flood-map.png 560w, https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Derwent-Bridge-flood-map-300x212.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 560px) 100vw, 560px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"556\" height=\"393\" src=\"https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Wayatinah-flood-map.png\" alt=\"Wayatinah flood map\" class=\"wp-image-9082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Wayatinah-flood-map.png 556w, https:\/\/d2tv960yzi0spr.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Wayatinah-flood-map-300x212.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 556px) 100vw, 556px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Riverine flooding information for communities including Ouse, Ellendale and north to Derwent Bridge and Bronte Park, in the upper reaches of the Derwent Catchment.
