People in Queenstown Lakes townships and rural areas are warned to watch rising lake and river levels, with some flooding now predicted - particularly for parts of Glenorchy. "There is a strong potential for high lake levels this week, as further periods of significant heavy rain follow the heavy rainfall experienced in the last few days. “We’re actively monitoring lakes and rivers in the Queenstown Lakes area from now and throughout the long weekend, and are advising people of the likelihood of flooding in some areas.”Flooding in Glenorchy in 2020 could be repeated in coming days, the ORC warns. Some flooding was also expected in low-lying Queenstown streets in the vicinity of Lake Wakatipu. ORC was closely monitoring the river flows and lake levels and working with Queenstown Lakes District Council and Emergency Management Otago to ensure businesses in low-lying areas were aware and prepared.
