UPDATE: Hamilton Plains is under water.

Motorists are advised that an alternative route to Proserpine and access to the Bruce Hwy can be made by traveling on Strathdickie Rd and then taking Gregory Cannonvalley Rd.

SunWater has advised early warning information and updates on the SunWater App.

The app provides SMS messages and social media updates, to notify communities living downstream of our dams of potential dam outflows.

The SunWater App is free to download and is a great way to get real-time updates on what's happening at the dam

 Anyone living 10km downstream of Peter Faust Dam can also register for the downstream emergency notification service

SunWater  encourages downstream communities to monitor local conditions and forecasts from the Bureau of Meteorology and to be prepared with an emergency flood plan 

Peter Faust Dam provides a certain degree of flood mitigation by way of a purpose built spillway that is designed to minimise the impact of flood events.

Strathdickie farmer Gary Simpson said he had received more than 150mm of rain this morning.

"It has been bucketing down all morning," he said.

He rang his wife who works in Proserpine and told her to leave work before the road to their house was cut.

Mr Simpson predicted that if it continued to rain at the current rate the Myrtle Creek bridge on Strathdickie Rd could be under water this afternoon. 

INITIAL: THE Bureau of Meterology issued a second and final flood warning for the Proserpine River catchment area yesterday afternoon.

Proserpine airport has already recorded a third of the average January rainfall over the last two days.

Similar levels of rain were recorded at the Hamiliton Island weather station with no sign of abating.

A surface trough remains located just off the Central Queensland coast and is expected to continue producing showers and thunderstorms over the warning area today.

Rainfall totals of 130 mm were recorded in the 24 hours to 9am Thursday and the BoM is predicting isolated falls of 50-100 mm , with locally heavier falls in thunderstorms.

River level rises above the minor flood level are no longer expected, however a risk of localised flash flooding remains.

The Peter Faust Dam is at capacity and SunWater is expected to issue a statement regarding dam water management in the next hour.
