There is a risk of heavy rain lingering into Monday morning. A Flood Watch is current for the South Coast river catchments.

DAMAGING WINDS, averaging 60 to 70 km/h with gusts in excess of 90 km/h, are possible along the coastal fringe of the South Coast district this evening, and on the Illawarra coastal fringe during Sunday, and the Sydney and Central coastal fringes Sunday afternoon and evening.

23.01.2022 A massive thank you to Spencer Thai for holding a Christmas afternoon in the heart of Spencer to raise money for our brigade and our local community group River Cares. Money raised for the brigade will go towards a much needed upgrade of our basic kitchen in the fire station and the installation of a shower in the bathroom. Thank you to our local sponsors and the chefs from Spencer Thai who did an AMAZING job!

17.01.2022 This is a re-notification to remind you about the ongoing wild dog/fox baiting program. The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is conducting aerial and ground baiting using meat baits, meat bait products and ejectors containing 1080 (sodium fluoroacetate) poison for the control of wild dogs and foxes. The baiting has been ongoing since 5 May 2020 and will continue to 31 October 2020. The next aerial baiting is scheduled be undertaken between 31 August and 9 Septem...ber 2020 in Dharug, Wollemi and Yengo National Parks, Parr, Yango and Wollemi State Conservation Areas. This program is designed to minimise the impact of foxes on wildlife, especially after the recent extensive bushfires, and to minimise the impact of wild dogs and foxes on neighbouring stock. All baiting locations are identified by signs. Please be reminded that domestic pets are not permitted on NPWS Estate. Pets and working dogs may be affected (1080 is lethal to cats and dogs). Pets and working dogs must be restrained or muzzled in the vicinity and must not enter the baiting locations. In the event of accidental poisoning seek immediate veterinary assistance. For further information please call NPWS at Bulga 6574 5555 or see the NPWS web page alerts.
