Two weather radars in North Queensland areas Richmond and Flinders shires will not be working for the upcoming wet weather of La Nina.

The Federal Government pledged a $28 million plan to install the radars as response to last year’s floods. However, the devices are being created overseas to which Federal Agriculture Minister David Littleproud has advised is a lengthy process.

The shires are currently being serviced by radars in other towns which are over 400 kilometres away.
