Tropical Cyclone Aldred: Gates close

Published 4:00pm 12 March 2025

Above: North Pine Dam's flood gates open earlier this week.

North Pine Dam’s floodgates, pictured above, have now closed following Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

Seqwater CEO Emma Thomas made the announcement this afternoon after three days of releases from all five gates.

Moreton Bay City Council has also posted on social media that Youngs Crossing Road is now open again.

However, controlled water releases are continuing from the gates at Somerset Dam and Wivenhoe Dam.

Water levels at all 25 Seqwater Dams are now receding, though 19 ungated dams are still spilling including Lake Kurwongbah.

Seqwater’s grid storage capacity is currently at 88.3 per cent, up 6.5 per cent in the last seven days when the region was hit by Cyclone Alfred.

Around 4200 homes are still without power in the City of Moreton Bay as Energex crews work to restore full supplies.

At 3.30pm today there were still 28 roads closed across the Moreton Bay region. Full list:
