Published 1:12pm - Sunday 17 December

In the wake of Cyclone Jasper, the Douglas Shire Council has issued a flood watch and urgent action warning in response to severe flooding within the region with the Captain Cook Highway closed due to an Ellis Beach landslide.

Residents are urged to take immediate precautions to safeguard their properties, check on neighbours, and restrict travel on roads whenever possible. With conditions expected to change rapidly, residents are advised to prepare for potential evacuation to higher ground.

A Newsport reader has reported that a section of the road at Ellis Beach has been washed away, although official confirmation is pending.

Douglas Shire Police Sergeant Damian Meadows has confirmed the closure of the Captain Cook Highway, highlighting its impassable condition and the anticipated lengthy duration of closure due to multiple landslips. The status of the Ellis Beach road remains unconfirmed at this time, as current conditions prevent emergency workers from verifying the situation on the ground.

"I can't provide information on Ellis Beach; it's not our jurisdiction. That's under Smithfield," Sergeant Meadows clarified.

He emphasised a crucial reminder for the public to avoid unnecessary travel on the roads, citing recent incidents where police had to rescue individuals trapped in floodwaters. "With limited resources, authorities aim to prevent the burnout of emergency services staff by discouraging unnecessary tasks," he said. "The community is urged to stay safe and refrain from unnecessary outings during these challenging conditions."

For the latest updates and crucial information, residents are encouraged to tune in to local radio stations or visit the official Douglas Shire Council website at https://dashboard.douglas.qld.gov.au/. Additionally, staying informed about the evolving weather conditions is crucial, and the Bureau of Meteorology remains a key source for the latest developments.

The Douglas Shire Council has also issued a warning concerning the sewage systems, emphasising that they are at capacity, and outflows may occur into floodwaters, houses, and backyards.

As the floodwaters continue to rise, residents in affected areas are cautioned not only about the dangers of flooding but also the potential emergence of wildlife in unexpected places. Crocodiles and snakes, displaced by the deluge, may pose additional threats to public safety.
