Minor flooding
Causes inconvenience. Low-lying areas next to watercourses are inundated which may require the removal of stock and equipment. Minor roads may be closed and low-level bridges submerged.
Moderate flooding
In addition to the above, the evacuation of some houses may be required. Main traffic routes may be covered. The area of inundation is substantial in rural areas requiring the removal of stock.
Major flooding
In addition to the above, extensive rural areas and/or urban areas are inundated. Properties and towns are likely to be isolated and major traffic routes likely to be closed. Evacuation of people from flood affected areas may be required.

Notes:
  1. All levels are in metres.
  2. All Flow rates are in megalitres per day (ML/Day).
  3. n/a indicates flood class levels not yet determined.
  4. All levels indicate flooding in the local reaches of the stream.
  5. AHD - Australian Height Datum. See Geoscience Australia for further information.
