Ashburn Road to be Reopened to Traffic

Maranoa Regional Council wishes to advise residents that Ashburn Road, at the Eastern Diversion Channel, will be reopened around 3pm today. Crews are currently onsite removing debris.

A number of roads remain closed across the region due to floodwater. Sections of footpaths along the Adungadoo Path and Surat Riverwalk also remain closed. 

Council would ask residents and visitors to the region to remain vigilant around floodwater. The major cause of death during floods is from people entering or travelling through floodwater. This includes driving, riding and walking through floodwater and children playing in floodwater. 

Let’s all stay safe and stay out of flood waters. If it’s flooded, forget it.
