The South Burnett Local Disaster Management Group has downgraded its readiness status after meeting at 9.00am on Saturday.<\/p>\n

With the easing of the rain, they have moved to \u201cStand Down\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, a Council spokesperson said Council crews would continue to work over the weekend to ensure roads were closed and monitored as water continued to run downstream.<\/p>\n

“We ask the community to be patient with road repairs and re-openings over the coming days and some delays are expected, particularly with bridge inspection requirements prior to reopening,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“The Council and the Transport and Main Roads network has received extensive damage again, given this is now the region\u2019s fifth weather event in the past eight months.<\/p>\n

“Council has requested another activation for emergency repairs and restoration of public assets.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The community is asked to follow road closure signs.<\/p>\n

“Increased flows could be expected on Barambah Creek as outflows from Bjelke-Petersen Dam increase. If it\u2019s flooded forget it.<\/p>\n

“Evacuees from the Twin Gums Caravan Park returned to the park (on Saturday) morning.”<\/p>\n
