The Springbrook Community Notices

 

Purling Brook Falls track and the Warrie Circuit are closed. Very unsafe on the tracks due to fallen trees, swollen creeks and slippery tracks. Please respect the sign so our emergency crews don't need to rescue you today! 

Front Road is currently flooded. Check the Austinville Causeway app before leaving. Mudgeeraba roads by the sports fields and shops are also flooded. The back road is your best bet, but take it easy and watch out for hazards. 

https://floodwatch.com.au Put it in your phone now! 

The Purling Brook causeway is under and over repeatedly at the moment. Please don't risk it. Use Lyrebird Ridge Road instead. No one will know if you get swept off and you've gone over the cascades...

If its flooded. Forget it.

All our activities this week will be rain dependant. Please check with the group convenor before leaving home. 

Springbrook Voices is at the Printers! Deliveries should start next week! 

First day of Autumn next week! We should start feeling the chill in the air soon and notice the rain slowing! 

Please check on your neighbours, family and friends and offer support. We all have a bit of cabin fever and a bit of suppressed annoyance with Mother Nature at the moment...😪

Once this rain event is over, council need a list of pot holes, trees on roads and a bit of a to do list from us. An email to our councillors office is the best way to report these. division9@goldcoast.qld.gov.au 

Stay safe. Look out for each other. Don't do anything daft.
