Police have made an emergency declaration under the Public Safety Preservation Act (PSPA) at 11:30 am with boundaries encompassing Sutherland Road, Normanby Road, Mount Compton Road and Starvation Creek.
Emergency services are currently undertaking operations in the area with police confirming that paramedics are treating one man with gunshot wounds to his abdomen, with the patient in a serious condition.
He was located some distance from the property, but officers have asked the public and aircraft to stay away from the property as it was reported by the ABC that the gunman is still at large.
