STREETS LIKELY TO BE AFFECTED in addition to those already impacted. Maryborough affected Street list HERE

• GRANVILLE Residents - While there is no immediate issue, Council is urging Granville residents to prepare for a possible loss of water supply by filling containers with enough water for drinking and cooking for at least two days. A sink hole on the Maryborough side of the Mary River has exposed the main water supply pipeline to Granville. If the erosion continues and the pipe is compromised or damaged, the main may need to be isolated. We are working through the Local Disaster Management Group on emergency supply options such as portable water treatment plants and bottled water should the water supply be interrupted.
  Urgent emergency repairs may need to be carried out once flood waters recede.The rest of the Maryborough water network remains unaffected and is fully operational.
• Several Council cultural venues and waste facilities have been affected by flooding. The Maryborough and Tiaro libraries are closed until further notice as is the Bond Store, Gatakers Artspace and the Story Bank.
• Opening hours for Council waste facilities today and tomorrow are updated here.
• Queensland Health has also set up a small base at the Hockey Grounds in Granville to deal with emergencies as they arise. The base is not a clinic and should only be accessed in an emergency.
• Queensland Ambulance Service has deployed an ambulance and two officers to Granville to deal with emergencies.
• Those who are self-evacuating are urged to shelter with friends and family where possible. For those who can’t, an evacuation centre has been set up at the Brolga Theatre in Maryborough. Please bring your own medical supplies, toiletries and blankets to the Brolga if you can.
