23.01.2022 With all this rain about the second roundabout into Harrington, at Lazzarini Drive, has water over the road. We expect that the water will drain & then possibly come back up, as rain continues. Council will put warning signs out, but they do have quite a few jobs in the queue! In the meantime please take care as you approach this roundabout, and slow down. For further info on road closures please refer to: https://www.myroadinfo.com.au/landing.asp

20.01.2022 More rain possible for Mid North Coast late next week The NSW SES is encouraging residents to take advantage of improved weather conditions to prepare for the p...ossibility of more heavy rain and storms late next week. This week NSW SES volunteers responded to 371 requests for emergency storm and flood assistance across the Northern Rivers, Mid North Coast, Hunter and Central Coast areas as more rain fell on already wet catchments. The rain resulted in several flood isolations across the Mid North Coast and was responsible for a landslip cutting off the Macleay community of Bellbrook, with NSW SES currently working with Kempsey Shire Council in the resupply of essential items to the town. NSW SES Incident Controller Allan Budziarski acknowledged the contribution of NSW SES volunteers, North Coast residents and holidaymakers in dealing with the recent storms and flooding. Superintendent Budziarski said, Although we would prefer to see no flood rescues occur to have only 6 last week across the North Coast given the number road closures is a credit to affected communities who have assisted emergency services by not driving, riding or walking through flood water. Bureau of Meteorology data for the NSW North Coast shows that some locations have received over 600mm of rain during the last 4 weeks causing the saturation of coastal catchments resulting in these areas little capacity to deal with further rainfall. Consequently, the Bureau and NSW SES are closely monitoring the possibility of a coastal trough developing late next week bringing with it the potential for further heavy rainfall, flash flooding and riverine flooding. The NSW SES is recommending residents use the break in the weather to clean gutters, trim tree branches and secure down items around yards and balconies. The SES also advises that now is a good time for residents that can be isolated by creek and river rises to stock up on essential supplies and for residents to be aware that tree root systems will be weakened and susceptible to strong winds because of saturated soils.

01.01.2022 Safety advice for all Recreational River Users on the Mid North Coast: We understand it’s the holiday season and people love to spend time in and around... our beautiful creeks and rivers. Unfortunately, with all the recent rain in Northern East NSW many of our local recreational water spots are flooding or have been affected by flooding. We are still experiencing some small river inflows which is caused by remaining run off, this is constantly changing the water behaviour and velocity. The water levels on many of our river systems are still expected to fluctuate over coming days with any renewed rainfall. Due to last seasons bushfires we are seeing higher than normal amounts of debrief in the river systems making them particularly dangerous for swimmers and recreational water sports such as boating and kayaking. No one should be engaging in these water actives while the river is still flooding. Rivers are likely to rise again with any additional rain so holiday makers should remain aware of the possibility of more flooding and monitor the conditions.
