Longford can have riverine flooding from the South Esk River, Macquarie River and Back Creek. The levee system was constructed to protect Longford and mitigate against rare flooding events of the South Esk River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The map shows the expected Major Flood levels in the Longford region. This level of event has about a 1% chance of happening any year (1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP). You are likely to experience a flood of this size in your lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A 1% AEP event is the limit of flood mitigation provided by the Longford levee system. Above this level there will start to be flooding within the levee protected area.
In the event of levee gate closure at Tannery Road access to the north is closed, and some streets off Wellington Street to the east. This will include the installation of some temporary levee structures. An alternative flood access plan will become activated during a major flooding event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a Major flooding event there are three alternative routes that can be used according to the height of the floodwaters, and closure status of the levees:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
