PSPA Revocation Restores Calm in Somerset

In a recent development, the Queensland Police Service has revoked the emergency declaration under the Public Safety Preservation Act (PSPA) for Wivenhoe Hill in Somerset. The declaration, which was in effect since the afternoon of August 30, has now been lifted, allowing normalcy to return to the area.

The revocation means all roads in the vicinity are open, and residents can safely return to their homes. The police have expressed gratitude towards the community for their cooperation during the emergency period, which required swift and calm compliance from local residents.

The PSPA had been enacted as a precautionary measure to ensure public safety and manage any potential threats effectively. With the situation now under control, authorities have assured the public that the area is safe for regular activities.

Residents are reminded to stay informed about local weather conditions and to contact emergency services if needed. For life-threatening situations, individuals should call Triple Zero (000), while the State Emergency Service (SES) is available at 132 500 for non-life-threatening assistance such as storm damage.

The Queensland Police Service continues to monitor the situation and advises the public to follow official channels for any updates or further information.
