Flooding across the nation
Eastern Australia battled its fifth
major wave of floods over the past
19 months. Across October, heavy
downpours flooded large areas of
New South Wales, Victoria and
Tasmania and the abnormally wet
conditions are expected to last until
2023. The same floodwaters then
made their way down the rising
River Murray into South Australia,
impacting Riverland towns from
Renmark to Tailem Bend.
South Australia too was affected,
in November, having received some
of the highest falls on record.
The impacts were felt across the
state, resulting in most of our sites
suffering from flood-related
operational issues.
We would like to recognise the
efforts of our dedicated team. The
2022 eastern Australia floods have
been described as one of the nation’s
worst recorded flood disasters,
with a series of floods that occurred
from February to April in Southeast
Queensland and parts of New South
Wales. The floods then made
their way to Victoria.
