Flooding expected. Take action now.
Tides are expected to be higher than usual due to the forecast weather conditions and spring tides.

We will continue to monitor levels closely.
Please stay away from beaches, promenades, coastal footpaths and roads as the expected large waves and sea spray will be dangerous. Residents are strongly urged to take action now. Remain safe and be aware of your surroundings.
