Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the post office, another potential flood and evacuation orders gets in the way.

Today, Australia Post has been quick to update the Lismore App with the latest on what's happening with our mail deliveries.

An Australia Post spokesperson told the Lismore App that due to flood risk, deliveries to Lismore are temporarily paused.

If you are still waiting to hear about an undelivered package since before the flood a month ago, (like me) you might be relieved to hear that Australia Post "have arranged for items to be stored until we are able to resume operations".

It's not just Lismore that's impacted, with parcels not being processed.

All deliveries to the following postcodes have been temporarily paused:

• 2470, 2471, 2477, 2478, 2479, 2480, 2482, 2484 – out of Lismore Delivery Centre
• 2479, 2481, 2482, 2483 – out of Mullumbimby Delivery Centre
• 2484 – out of Murwillumbah Delivery Centre
• 2472, 2477, 2478, 2479 – out of Ballina Delivery Centre
• 2481, 2482, 2483 – out of Byron Bay Delivery Centre

"Mullumbimby, Murwillumbah, Byron Bay and Lismore Delivery Centres are not operational," the spokesperson said.

"There is limited operation out of Ballina Delivery Centre with some delivery delays to be expected.

"The safety of our people and the community is our highest priority, and we will recommence deliveries as soon as it is safe to do so.

"We will continue to provide updates on impacts and management as we work through the situation over the coming days."
