Road closures – We are starting to see the closure of some local roads and low-lying bridges due to the wet weather associated with Tropical Cyclone Alfred. All road and bridge closures are tracked on LiveTraffic NSW – https://www.livetraffic.com/. People are encouraged to minimise all travel during this extreme weather event, but if you do have to be on the road, please check LiveTraffic – https://www.livetraffic.com/ – before you head out. And remember do not cross floodwaters under any circumstances. Remember, if its flooded forget it. Waste collection – Residents who have their bins collected on Fridays are advised to have BOTH bins out by 6am tomorrow (Friday, 7 March). This is to enable the contractor to run two trucks close together so staff can finish work before the worst of the impacts of Tropical Cyclone Alfred arrive.
