Cressbrook Dam has been closed to the public as water is running over the spillway following rain in the catchment.
Toowoomba Regional Council is following its Emergency Action Plan for Cressbrook and Perseverance Dams, which prohibits all public access when water over the spillway at Cressbrook Dam exceeds 100mm.
Overnight inflows to Cressbrook Dam on February 13th, forced the dam to spill over by 200mm by mid morning the following day(February 14). Water also is spilling over from Perseverance Dam, which flows into Lake Cressbrook.
Council is following all precautions to ensure public safety and is advising downstream residents. Vehicle access is closed at Cressbrook Gorge.
Kerri Seccombe from the Hampton Visitor Information has advice from the Rangers at Cressbrook that there is no access beyond the gates, therefore no access to boat ramp, camping ground, picnic area etc. Water has gone down about 50mm since Thursday. There is no indication at this stage when it will reopen. People can still do the tourist drive loop past the turn off and over Perseverance dam wall.
As well, the walking track from the lookout to the waterhole at Crows Nest National Park is still closed. This is due to major instability of the ground. This will be a long-term closure. This means no access to the waterhole. Swimming is possible at Kauyoo Pool, but is limited and really only suitable for kids or paddling.

Following a very successful muster Toowoomba Basketball Patrons Cup will commence on Monday 27th February with A Grade Men and Women and A Reserve Men being played on Monday nights, and B and C Grade Men and mixed played on Wednesday nights.
The association is making an effort to lift the standard of A Grade by limiting the teams to one each from each of the four Clubs – All Stars, Eagles, Saints and USQ.
The mens’ competition is expected to be very strong with huge interest generated from last years revitalized Mountaineer and DLeague performances. The womens’ competition will struggle this Patrons Cup but the call is out for more players to return to the game on the back of the Mountaineers recruiting two imports this year (which should do a lot for the womens confidence and interest in basketball}.
Any individual wishing to play basketball but not yet in a team is welcome to attend continuing musters next week.
Trial games will continue on:
MONDAY 15th for A Reserve men teams at 6.00pm, A Women at 7.00pm and A grade Men at 8.00pm,
and
WEDNESDAY 22nd for B Grade men at 6.00pm and 7.00 pm for C Grade Men and Mixed.
