Macleay River Rainfall and River levels Data

This site provides near real time rainfall and river level data from throughout the Macleay River catchment. Whilst the data contained in this web site has been formulated with all due care, the data has been recovered directly from automatic recording equipment and is not quality controlled. No guarantee can be given that the data is free from errors or omissions. Users of this site should refer to the MHL Copyright and Disclaimer at the bottom of the page.

Whilst this site provides near real time data of river levels and rainfall, specialist knowledge is required to correctly interpret the data. During a flood event residents are advised to refer to the following:

  • Contact SES (Phone 132500 or go to Kempsey SES Web Page) for flood warning advice, evacuations and local road and bridge closures.
  • Listen to the local media, particularly Macleay Valley Community Radio Tank FM 103.1, who will be broadcasting advice issued by the SES.
  • Refer to the Bureau of Meteorology Web Page for the latest official Flood Warnings and river height predictions.

    • Note that as from 12th November 2003, reference to all river height levels at the Kempsey Traffic Bridge will be to Australian Height Datum (AHD). (AHD= old Flood Datum + 0.53m)
