MidCoast Council
MidCoast Council will be monitoring the weekend’s weather closely with strong winds predicted and hazardous coastal conditions according to the Bureau of Meteorology.
“Weekend High tides will peak after 9pm tonight, and Saturday and Sunday nights at around 1.8m,” explained Council’s Director of Engineering and Infrastructure, Robert Scott.
“These tides, together with the predicted wind wave conditions are concerning for us, particularly in regard to our coastal erosion hotspots at Manning Point, Old Bar and Jimmys Beach.
“Over the weekend we will be frequently monitoring these areas to assess any impacts and what, if any, action needs to take place.”
Kempsey Shire Council
In the wake of major flooding in March that inundated properties, closed and damaged infrastructure, disrupted essential services and isolated communities across the Mid North Coast, the NSW SES will be hosting a series of community flood forums in 12 locations over the next 3 months.
The flood forums aim to gather community feedback on the record rain and flood event and to identify opportunities for the NSW SES to partner with residents and businesses to improve local flood preparation, response and transition to recovery arrangements.
The first of the forums will be for residents and businesses on Port Macquarie’s Northside on Tuesday 11th May at the NSW Rural Fire Service North Shore Station on Shoreline Drive starting at 7:00pm.
