River Erosion Reconnaissance - Post Topical Cyclone Koji
On February 17th from 7am-5pm Reef Catchments will be conducting aerial river surveys, aimed at assessing flood damage post Tropical Cyclone Koji. A helicopter will be used to survey waterways across the region.
This operation is being carried out in response to Cyclone Kojii’s extreme flooding impacts and landholder feedback on widespread damage, across waterways within the Proserpine, O’Connell, and Pioneer basins. The purpose of the mission is to document locations and capture images of riverine and/or gully erosion across the landscape.
Community members may notice low-level helicopter activity along rivers and streams during the day. This is a planned operation, and no action is required from the public. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to assess impacts and plan future recovery and mitigation efforts.
