With the current wet weather event continuing, Lismore City Council has been out checking the levee infrastructure and reports it is all in good condition - and said everyone should have a flood plan.

"Council staff have been actively monitoring the current weather system and activating our levee operation processes since last Friday," a Council spokesperson said.

"All of our flood gates, pumps, and other infrastructure associated with the levee was recently checked as part of our normal maintenance programs and found to be in good working order.

"We do not have a prediction for a flood that could overtop the levee as yet, but with the ground throughout the catchment now fully saturated, any further rainfall will run-off straight into our creeks and rivers, and they could rise far more quickly than what has happened during this event so far. We urge businesses to be ready to act quickly should they need to.

"Any businesses with employees parked in carparks located inside the CBD levee should remove their vehicles this afternoon. There is no urgency until the end of the day, but we ask people not to leave cars overnight as we may need to close these carparks from this evening."

The main floodgates on Browns Creek and Gasworks Creek are currently closed with the pumps operational and pumping stormwater from those creeks over the levee and into the Wilsons River. Staff will continue to monitor the situation and respond.

Business owners in the CBD are encouraged to make sure they have their flood plans ready to implement.

We urge you to be ready to pack up at short notice should the need arise.

Make sure you have your flood plan ready to go. Listen to the ABC Radio, monitor the SES and Bureau of Meteorology websites, and check in on your friends and neighbours to make sure they are okay.
