SAR spokesman Bill Day said emergency services received a call from a concerned member of the public about 12.30pm.
A nine-member swift water team was mobilised and Go Jets offered their boat to help in the operation.
Two trained observers in a helicopter located a body in the water about 20m downstream from the bridge.
The death was now in the hands of police and the coroner, he said.
