Heatley Evacuation Centre is now at capacity.
If you require an evacuation centre you need to go to Townsville Sports Precinct at 24 Burke Street, North Ward. Pets will be accepted at this evacuation centre. All animals must be in portable carriers or crates large enough that they can stand, turn around and lie down.
The Townsville Local Disaster Management Group is preparing to open an additional centre at Ignatius Park College from 8pm tonight.
It is recommended residents seek shelter with friends and family, as the evacuation centres are a last-resort option.
