Burdekin LDMG Transitions Back to ALERT Status

Published on 26 February 2026

The Burdekin Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) has transitioned back to ALERT activation following endorsement via a flying minute.

The Burdekin Dam and the Burdekin River at the Inkerman gauge remain in minor flood, are currently steady, and are expected to remain above minor flood levels through Thursday and Friday.

At this time no communities are isolated and no issues have been reported.

In line with current conditions, the Australian Warning System (AWS) message for the Burdekin Local Government Area has been downgraded to an “Advice – Stay Informed” message.

The Burdekin LDMG will continue to monitor conditions closely and will provide further updates to the community should the situation change.

Residents are encouraged to stay informed by monitoring official sources, including the Bureau of Meteorology and the Burdekin Disaster Dashboard, disaster.burdekin.qld.gov.au.
