🚨 Flood siren testing in Fernvale and Lowood 🚨

Council will test its community flood early warning sirens on Thursday, 29 October, between 12pm and 1pm.

The audible testing will occur at the region’s two dedicated warning stations in Fernvale on Schmidt Road, and Lowood at the SES building on Lindemans Road.

CleanCo will also be conducting an audible test of its new emergency warning sirens on Wivenhoe Somerset Road, downstream of Splityard Creek Dam, from 12pm to 1pm on Thursday 29 October.

Council maintains these outdoor warning sirens as a critical layer of defence for low-lying areas, providing an audible alert in the event of severe, rapidly rising river flooding.

Listen to the siren and learn more on Council’s website: somerset.qld.gov.au/FloodSirens
