Parts of Lilydale township are prone to flash flooding from Rocky Creek after heavy rain, including Main Road. This flooding can be hard to predict. It can be difficult to give accurate and timely warnings.
Parts of communities near the mouth of the Pipers River can also flood, particularly at high tide. This includes parts of
- Bellingham
- Weymouth, and
- Lulworth.
Some properties around Karoola could also flood.
Flooding can cut many roads around the area for a short time after heavy rain. This can make driving dangerous. Areas around the Pipers River can become isolated for short periods as low-lying roads flood. Even if your home is not inundated, you should be prepared for
- major traffic routes to be cut plus
- potential power and telecommunications outages.
您有洪水風險嗎?
- Areas around Lilydale and the Pipers River flooded in 1915, 1923, 1937, 1939, 2011, 2013, 2014 and 2016. Parts of Lilydale also flooded in October 2022.
我應該做什麼?
- Check the map to see whether your home or business could flood. To see the maps in more detail, go to the Tasmanian Strategic Flood Maps online.
- Assess your home or business. Prepare it to minimise possible flood damage.
- 檢查您是否能在洪水期間安全地抵達家中、工作地點或學校。.
- Prepare a Home Emergency Plan. See 為緊急情況做好準備 – A guide for individuals and households to prepare for emergencies. If you run a business, check out the support by Business Tasmania to prepare for emergencies.
- If you may be isolated and you must have access to services, you may need to evacuate early, before floodwaters rise.
像圖中所示的洪水,或更糟的洪水,將會再次發生。沒有兩次洪水是完全一樣的。.
如果您居住在低窪地區或靠近水道,您的房屋可能會被淹沒。即使您的住所安全,您也可能需要繞過淹水地區,或者您的道路通行可能會被阻斷。切勿駕車進入或身處洪水之中。道路和橋樑可能會被沖毀或不安全。洪水期間請避免出行。.
知道該怎麼做可以拯救你的生命並保護你的財產。制定家庭緊急計畫是最好的準備方法之一。決定天氣和降雨的觸發條件,以便採取行動。.

The Bureau issues a Flood Watch when predicted weather might cause floods in the area. A Flood Watch for this area would be a generalised one for Central North river basins – a “heads up” early advice of forecast weather that may lead to flooding.
BoM does not issue formal flood level warnings for the Pipers River catchment. There are river level gauges on the Pipers River at
- Underwood, and
- Downstream of Yarrow Creek.
As the Pipers River is a short catchment, these gauges cannot give enough warning time.
It is best to act on BoM’s generalised flood watch warning, and observed rainfall, particularly at
- Mount Arthur Summit
- Pipers River Upstream of Yarrow Creek.
See www.bom.gov.au/tas/flood/northern.shtml
SES will issue TasALERT warnings if predicted or observed rainfall could cause flooding in the area. However, sometimes it is not possible to issue those warnings in a timely manner as the area is prone to localised flash flooding that can happen quickly.

洪水水位
While no two floods are the same, the following describes what you can expect at different flood levels around the area. Even if your property is not flooded, you need to think about access. Different levels of rainfall can cause flooding depending on its intensity, duration and how wet the ground is beforehand and where the rain falls.
Do not drive through flooded roads – it is dangerous. It is best to avoid travel during heavy rain. Most flooding in the area will only last for a short period after rain stops. Flooding around Pipers River is generally only for a few hours or less.
Minor and moderate flooding
Low lying parts of some roads around the area can flood for short periods of time after heavy rain. Depending where rain falls, main roads that could be flooded for a short time in low lying parts include:
- Bridport Road near Pipers River crossing, near Ferny Hill Road and near #2431
- Lilydale Road south of Garcias Road
- Underwood Road near Jones Road
- Bangor Road east from Pipers River Rd turnoff and Second River Crossing
- Lalla Road Pipers River crossing east of Karoola Road
- Second River Rd east of Merthyr Park and near Second River crossing.
Local roads most at risk include:
- Glenford Farm Road, Underwood, multiple places
- Baxters Road Pipers River Crossing
- Security Road Pipers River crossing
- Lewis Road, Pipers River
- Colgraves Road, Pipers River
- Weymouth Farm Road Back Creek crossing.
Other roads that may flood for a short period include
- Gargias Road, Underwood
- Collins Road, Karoola
- Karoola Road, Pipers River crossing
- Dicksons Road, Karoola
- Back Creek Road, Back Creek crossing
- Weymouth Rod Back Creek crossing
- Lees Road, Bangor, Third River crossing.
If rain is very heavy, some low-lying properties around Lilydale, Bellingham and Weymouth may flood. Check the flood maps for details. The following roads may also flood.
- Venn Road, Pipers Brook Pipers Brook crossing
- Langs Road, Pipers Brook, Pipers Brook crossing
- Goullees Road, Underwood, Butchers Creek crossing
- Gollconda Road north of Lilydale, several places
- North Lilydale Road, North Lilydale, Second River crossing.
- Doaks Road, Lilydale township
- Parrys Road, Pipers River
- South Retreat Rd, Retreat Montgomery Creek crossing, also west of Geiss Road
- Lyndon Avenue, Bellingham
- Mahnkens Road, North Lilydale
Flooding may also cut main roads to the south, east and west of this area. Flooding could isolate many properties and communities for a short time.
Major floodingThis area has more than a 2% chance of major flooding any year (annual exceedance probability (AEP)). A 2% AEP level event may be as a result of, for example:
- At Mount Arthur, about 57mm rain in 2 hours, or 94mm in 6 hours
- At Lilydale about 32mm rain in 1 hour, or 47mm in 3 hours
- At Pipers River township, 33mm rain in 1 hour or 53 mm in 3 hours
With this level of rainfall, or less
- Flooding will likely cut most roads around the area for short periods. Delay travel, if possible, for your safety.
- In Lilydale up to 45 properties may flood, including along
- Main Road/ Lilydale Road/ Golconda Road,
- Station Road
- Charob Avenue.
While in many cases this flooding will be shallow and below floor height, in some places water could be dangerously deep as well as fast moving. If your property floods and you have to leave quickly, move overland uphill to a safer place.
This flooding is likely to be for a short time. Follow TasALERT for information on evacuation options.
A flood that has a 1% chance of happening any year is also likely to impact low lying homes and other buildings in the following areas.
- Karoola – 4 properties along Pipers River Road, Karoola Road and Lalla RoadBellingham – 10 properties mostly in Lyndon Street, but also Albert Street and Clifford StreetWeymouth – 5 properties in Major Street or along the Esplanade
- Lulworth – low level overland may impact 2 properties
- Stormwater run-off (direct rainfall impacts from very heavy rain) can also affect some other properties.
- Coastal inundation, coastal erosion, plus high tides can also affect Bellingham, Weymouth and Lulworth.
If there is particularly heavy rain, there is likely to be an extra 12 properties flooded around Lilydale, Karoola, Bellingham and Wymouth (0.5% AEP). Flooding on roads listed is likely to be deeper and more dangerous.
了解你的風險,做好準備,盡可能降低風險,與他人聯繫,保持警惕並安全行動。.
洪水之前

免責聲明
這些地圖顯示了跨流域的持續降雨量所造成的潛在洪水風險,例如 1% 年超越機率 (AEP)。在洪水事件中,降雨量在流域內的分布可能更不均勻,因此這些洪水地圖僅供參考。已繪製的洪水風險區域顯示淹水機率較高。其他區域的淹水機率較低,但在嚴重且罕見的事件(機率低於 1% AEP)中,其他較低的區域也可能面臨淹水風險。.
