RESIDENTS of Gympie in southeast Queensland have been warned to prepare for flooding as the Mary River peaks following heavy rainfall in the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
Gympie Mayor Ron Dyne said the river was expected to reach 13 metres before midnight and peak at about 16 metres by 9am (AEST) on Tuesday, which would see some businesses in Gympie's CBD inundated.
He urged residents and visitors to put safety first.
"I urge people to take heed of weather warnings, stay indoors if they can, drive to the conditions, and avoid flooded or closed roads," Mr Dyne said in a statement.
Heavy rain was forecast over a 600km stretch of Queensland coast, from Gladstone to the NSW border.
Flash flooding alerts have been issued for a number of areas including Gladstone, Gympie, Kingaroy, Hervey Bay and Fraser Island.
Flooding is also possible on the Gold and Sunshine Coasts as well as Brisbane and Ipswich.
