⚠️ Important advice: Please temporarily avoid contact with part of the river between Vic Lucas Park at Bulimba and Colmslie Beach Reserve at Murarrie.

A wastewater release has occurred due to recent heavy rain during a critical project. Activities such as swimming, wading, rowing, kayaking or fishing should be avoided in the impacted area.

We also urge everyone to always follow the advice of authorities to avoid contact with waterways during and after heavy rain.
