Flooding expected. Take action now.
River levels are currently rising quickly due to very heavy rainfall. Properties are forecast to begin flooding from 9:30am today, Tuesday 24/09/19, continuing throughout the day. Flooding is expected to affect properties around Rusper Road and Hyde Drive, with flooding to low lying land and roads also anticipated. Further rain showers will continue this afternoon causing the river to remain high, and could cause flooding to continue until the showers clear tonight. This is a developing situation and we will update this message as we have more. Residents and businesses take action in our areas of concern, moving possessions from the ground and avoiding contact with flood water. We have our staff responding in the area to clear river blockages and reduce water levels around Ifield. Our incident room is open and managing the situation. This message will be update today by 3pm or as the situation changes.
