Conditions over the past few days are said to be worse than during 1929, but authorities said a series of recent measures meant the threat was much lower now.

An upgraded flood levee system was finished last year.

It is a series of concrete levees and 16 flood gates protecting low-lying suburbs like Invermay and the central business district.

The Launceston Flood Authority said it was designed to withstand a one-in-200-year flood level.

Premier Will Hodgman has described the latest flooding as "catastrophic".

"This is an extreme weather event, the worse flooding we've experienced in this state in 40 years and it's likely to get worse," he said.
