Groundwater levels are now falling steadily. 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. Minor flood impacts, with water on fields may continue, but new groundwater flooding is not expected.
We will continue to monitor the situation and work with emergency services and local authorities.
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.
