Some rivers in the North are still rising as floodwaters move downstream as Tasmania’s significant flooding event continues.
While rivers are falling in the North West region, in the North floodwaters continue to make their way down the catchments and river rises are still occurring in the Meander, South Esk, and Macquarie Rivers.
Current areas of significant flooding are along the Meander between Deloraine and Hadspen.
An emergency warning to Prepare to Evacuate is current for:
- South Esk Drive and the river and between Bartley Street and the river.
SES and Police last night doorknocked the identified Hadspen residents and advised them to be prepared to evacuate if required.
Emergency Alert was been activated to directly message everyone with a mobile phone as well as landlines in the identified evacuation areas.

The Bureau of Meteorology has issued a moderate flood warning for the South Esk and a minor flood warning for the North Esk, both contributing to the flows in the kanamaluka/River Tamar.
Locations likely to be impacted are: River edge along the lower South Esk River from Trevallyn Dam to Royal Park, and river edge along the mouth of the North Esk and up to Tailrace Park along the kanamaluka/River Tamar.
The State Emergency Service Acting Director, Leon Smith, said that floodwaters would continue to pose a threat for some time and it was expected to take several days before the floodwaters subside.
To date 53 residential, 17 businesses and 19 community facilities have been damaged by the floodwaters in the North and North West regions. Assessments are ongoing.
