Condamine likely to evacuate - again .. Evan Schwarten .. January 11, 2011 - 1:09PM

AAP .. Residents of the southern Queensland town of Condamine are preparing to
evacuate for the second time in a fortnight as flood waters bear down on the community.

A community meeting is being held in the town, west of Brisbane, to discuss evacuation procedures after
authorities warned power and water to the town would be cut ahead of another massive flood expected on Wednesday.

The town's entire population of around 150 people was evacuated after Christmas following the worst flood on record.

Western Downes Mayor Ray Brown said the town was in recovery mode when authorities warned another devastating flood was on its way.

The Condamine River is expected to peak at around 15 metres on Wednesday, similar to the height it reached in December.

Mr Brown said residents had been asked to evacuate the town voluntarily.

"We're waiting to see the outcome of the town meeting but electricity and water will be cut to the town," he said.

The nearby towns of Dalby and Chinchilla are also preparing for further flooding after homes were inundated overnight.

About 200 homes were inundated and a further 2000 properties affected when the Dalby's Myall Creek peaked on Monday
night, with further flooding expected when the creek peaks again, at 3.7 metres either on Tuesday night or on Wednesday.

Mr Brown said two evacuation centres in Dalby, which hold a combined total of about 180 residents,
were currently full and a third centre was being opened ahead of tomorrow's anticipated peak.

Residents have also been evacuated from a number of properties at Chinchilla
as Charleys Creek rose toward an expected peak of 7.5 metres on Tuesday afternoon.

Many had moved to evacuation centres while more had sought refuge with friends and family, Mr Brown said.

"The main aim is to preserve life. Infrastructure and assets we know
have been massively destroyed across the region but they can be replaced.

"Life can't be replaced and it's important we respect the floodwaters."
