Baroon Pocket  Dam notice

Seqwater advises that due to rainfall in the catchment, Baroon Pocket Dam has commenced spilling and due to high inflows into the dam, outflows have increased. Caution downstream is advised due to possible downstream release hazards.

This means that if you are downstream of the dam you should exercise caution near waterways and floodplains, as you may encounter fast flowing or deep water that could be a safety hazard.

If you are concerned about road closures or other flood impacts, you should contact your local council.  River level information can be obtained from the Bureau of Meteorology website
