Roads are currently closed due to severe weather conditions in the Moorabool area.
Roads closed due to flooding include Muirs Lane in Korobeit, Kellys Road in Elaine and Butter Factory Road in Wallace between Chapmans Road and Westcotts Road.
There is also water over the road on Old Melbourne Road in Gordon just before the 80kmh sign going into Gordon.
Updated information will be posted on Moorabool council’s Facebook page and website.
Sand and sandbags are available for Moorabool Shire residents at the BM Council Depot at 17 Kennedy Place in Maddingley.
Council is asking people wanting sandbags to not enter the premises.
Sand and sandbags are located on the right-hand side of the entrance driveway.
They are also available at the Ballan council office carpark at 15 Stead Street.
These are self-fill stations, so people are required to bring their own shovels.
Council is working to have a limited number of pre-filled bags available at each location by the end of the day.
Council is reminding residents to be careful around flood waters and never walk, drive or ride through floodwater.
