March 10, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett Local Disaster Management Group remained at “Stand Up” status on Tuesday afternoon despite the rain stopping.<\/p>\n

However localised flooding was still occurring in parts of the region and significant road damage was becoming apparent.<\/p>\n

The Burnett Highway has now reopened but access to Murgon remains closed at Krebs Bridge (on the Bunya Highway) and Angels Bridge (on Murgon-Barambah Road).<\/p>\n

Krebs Bridge is expected to be closed until at least Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Regional Council is working with the Department of Transport and Main Roads to reopen the Bunya Highway when it is safe to do so.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working to identify priority repairs as the water recedes and I would like to thank our community for their patience at this time. I urge everyone to please report any road damage to Council on (07) 4189-9100,\u201d Mayor Kathy Duff said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Council is receiving hundreds of reports of road damage and has begun inspecting and prioritising repairs. It will take days and possibly weeks to make some roads safe for travel.<\/p>\n

“The community should monitor the Disaster Dashboard for updates on road conditions and observe road closure signage.<\/p>\n

“Further updates on road conditions will be provided to keep the community informed.”<\/p>\n

Footnote: The Bureau of Meteorology recorded rainfall of 396mm at Boondooma between 9:00am Saturday and 9:00am Tuesday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

UPDATE March 11: Krebs Bridge was re-opened to traffic early on Wednesday morning.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
