  • FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM for the LOGAN & ALBERT RIVERS
    Bureau Home > Australia > Queensland > Rainfall & River Conditions > River Brochures > Logan and Albert FLOOD WARNING SYSTEM for the LOGAN & ALBERT RIVERS This brochure describes the flood warning system operated by the Australian Government, Bureau of Meteorology for the Logan and Albert Rivers. It includes reference information which will be useful for understanding Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins issued by the Bureau's Flood Warning Centre during periods of high rainfall and flooding. Contained in this document is information about: (Last updated September 2019) Flood Risk Previous Flooding Flood Forecasting Local Information Flood Warnings and Bulletins Interpreting Flood Warnings and River Height Bulletins Flood Classifications Other Links Looking upstream at Beenleigh on the Albert River Flood Risk The Logan River has a catchment area of about 3850 square kilometres and lies in the south east corner of Queensland. The catchment extends from the Logan City-Beenleigh area in the north to the McPherson Ranges in the south on the Queensland-NSW border. The major tributaries are the Albert River and Teviot Brook. Smaller tributaries include Running, Christmas, Burnett and Canungra Creeks in the headwaters. Major flooding is experienced in both rural and urban areas of the catchment although major flooding in the upper part of the catchment does not necessarily result in significant flooding in the lower catchment. Scrubby and Slacks Creeks in the lower reaches of the Logan River can be subject to flash flooding as well as backwater flooding during major river flood events. Previous Flooding Records of large floods in the Logan-Albert Rivers extend back as far as 1887, and since then there have been several major flood events.
