Flood Cameras

Hamilton Plains Flood Camera

Whitsunday Regional Council has installed a flood camera on Shute Harbour Road at Hamilton Plains to allow the community to better prepare and view the road which has long been a well-known flood water hotspot. 

The images below show both directions of Shute Harbour Road at Hamilton Plains at the locations where peak flooding tends to occur.

 Important information:

 - The date and time is displayed at the bottom of each image
 - The images will be updated approximately every 15 minutes
 - The general public are advised that night vision is not available - these cameras only operate during the day (6am - low light conditions).
Crofton Creek Bridge Flood Camera

Whitsunday Regional Council has installed a flood camera on the Crofton Creek Bridge to allow the community to better prepare and view the water level at the bridge.

 Important information:

 - The date and time is displayed at the bottom of the image
 - The image will be updated approximately every 15 minutes
 - Limited night vision is available

WARNING: Due to technical difficulties the Crofton Creek flood camera is only updating every 30 mins.

Any flooded road can be deadly and the condition of the road surface underneath is not known until flood waters subside. It also doesn't matter what size your vehicle is, flood waters are dangerous for all vehicles. When considering your journey, always have a Plan B and equip yourself with multiple alternative routes to stay safe.

As soon as you enter flood water, you are giving up control of your vehicle - if it's flooded, forget it!

The Hamilton Plains Flood Camera and Crofton Creek Flood Camera Projects are initiatives fully funded by the Whitsunday Regional Council in cooperation with the Department of Transport and Main Roads.
