Groundwater levels are now returning to normal. We do not expect further flooding and the flood alert has been removed.
Rivers and streams remain full due to high groundwater levels and will react rapidly to further rainfall.
We will continue to monitor the situation and will issue further alerts or warnings if necessary.
Don't put yourself or others at risk. Never drive through flood water, just 30cm of fast flowing water is enough to move your car.
