A landslide has caused the closure of Tamborine Mountain Road – the road locally known as the ‘Goat Track’.

The landslide on Monday night dumped a large rock and other debris onto the road which is used as a direct link between Canungra and Mt Tamborine.

A spokesperson for the Department of Main Roads said the road was still closed to all traffic in all directions and anyone who needed to use the road would need to seek an alternative route.

Despite the trail of destruction left by the landslide, on early Tuesday morning only 13 customers had power outages caused by trees on powerlines in the Mount Tambourine area. 

Severe storms also led to substantial rainfall in some parts of the Scenic Rim - in the past 24 hours to Tuesday morning, Beaudesert recorded 44.6mm of rainfall, Canungra 92.2mm and Ipswich 16.8mm.  

The Bureau of Meteorology’s Flood Watch and severe weather warning remain in place for Tuesday December 15 as river levels continue to rise and minor flooding continues across parts of the Flood Watch area.

“Storms are expected throughout the Flood Watch area during Monday and into Tuesday,” a BoM spokesperson said.

“River level rises above the minor flood level are possible during Monday and Tuesday.

“Localised flooding and disruption to transport routes may continue throughout the Flood Watch area, most likely with storms.”

The Bremer River and Warrill Creek were the catchments most likely to be affected.

Throughout the rest of the week, Ipswich and the Scenic Rim aren’t expected to see too many clear skies. Showers are predicted for Ipswich till next Monday with maximum temperates  of 31 to 33 degrees throughout the week. 

Beaudesert, Boonah and Gatton are predicted to follow the same pattern with showers and possible thunderstorms continuing and tops of 29 to 34 degrees in the regions through till Sunday.
