Wivenhoe to reduce flows

Seqwater a short time ago announced that it was going to reduce releases from the Wivenhoe - as a huge flood front moves towards Brisbane.
The Flood Operations Centre will reduce releases slowly tonight. The first reduction will be to 610,000 megalitres per day.
The recent 10m river levels at Colleges Crossing were the result of releases of 130,000 megalitres.
The current Brisbane River levels at the Mt Crosby weir is 22.94m - and at Colleges Crossing, where the cafe once proudly stood, is at 15.81m.

Where the 25ha Colleges Crossing park was, is now submerged under a raging Brisbane River.

Some residents at Karalee have already evacuated. The Bremer River which runs into the Brisbane at Karalee is expected to flood Ipswich at record levels.
The persistent heavy rain of today has moderated tonight - and it will be interesting how tomorrow turns out.
The flood crisis has caused a lot of anxiety in the Brisbane area - especially with predictions that river levels will exceed the disastrous 1974 flood.
