RESIDENTS in low-lying areas in the Lockyer Valley in southeast Queensland have been urged to evacuate and seek higher ground before major flooding hits.
The state's Department of Community Safety said early on Monday morning that an emergency flood warning had been issued and people in flood-prone areas should consider moving immediately.
"Major flooding is expected during the night downstream of Laidley and Gatton in Lockyer Creek and Laidley Creek. Anyone at risk of flooding should seek higher ground," it said.
Evacuation centres have been established at the Fernvale Community Hall and the Lowood Showgrounds, it said.
Residents around the Mary River at Gympie have also been warned of flooding, with those in low-lying areas urged to relocate to higher ground if necessary before an expected flood peak of 21m hits.
Gympie Regional Council Mayor Ron Dyne advised affected residents to seek accommodation with friends and relatives or go to evacuation centres set up at the Gympie Civic Centre and Showgrounds Pavilion.
The latest warnings come as ex-tropical cyclone Oswald tracks south and into NSW, leaving flooded homes in Gladstone and Bundaberg as Brisbane, Ipswich and other centres in the state's southeast brace for flooding.
