Tweed Shire Council remains on alert ahead of possible wet weather across the coming long weekend, ready to respond if required.
Director Engineering David Oxenham said while earlier predictions of severe heavy rainfall had been downgraded, Council would continue to monitor the situation across the coming days.
“Our staff and resources are on standby, ready to respond should any heavy rainfall cause damage to our roads and other infrastructure,” Mr Oxenham said.
“While predicted rainfalls have lessened, it is still likely we may receive heavy isolated falls with localised flooding and severe thunderstorms.
“Residents are urged to be safe on the roads and keep across their usual weather information channels. We know our waterways are swollen after all the rain we have had so far this year already.
“Check our flood monitoring cameras for near-live images at key road crossings and sign up for our flash flood alert if you live at Burringbar, Mooball or Crabbes Creek.”
