Roads to the town were cut as the Haughton reached a record peak of 3.1 metres late on Thursday.
Local State Emergency Service (SES) controllers said no homes were flooded, although floodwaters did reach up to a metre in some parts of the town, with many backyards and car ports flooded.
The local SES and fire station had half a metre of floodwater through their offices.
