Council regrets the inconvenience caused however, the safety of the community and the preservation of the road asset is of prime importance.
Motorists are asked to use extreme caution when travelling in the wet weather.
Please avoid walking or driving through flood waters, it may be deeper and faster flowing than anticipated. T
he road may have suffered extensive damage hidden beneath the water.
Drivers are encouraged to minimise travel on unsealed roads as conditions on many roads change quickly with local flash flooding, creeks flooding, washouts and soft road surfaces.
