NSW State Emergency Service
Advice
Monitor conditions
The NSW SES advises people in the following area(s) to MONITOR CONDITIONS of the flooding on the Burrill Lake:
- North and South parts of Burrill Lake.
- Low-lying areas and roadways around Burrill Lake.
You should monitor conditions by checking warnings issued by NSW SES on their website and Facebook page, listening to your local ABC radio station, and following the latest weather information from the Bureau of Meteorology online.
What are we expecting?
The Bureau of Meteorology advises no significant rainfall is forecast for the next few days and flooding is no longer expected for the South Coast.
An emergency warning to Shelter Now was issued at 3:53 am 2 Jul 2025 for North and South parts of Burrill Lake and was rescinded when the threat was reduced.
Floodwaters may still be impacting parts of the area and are slowly receding.
Low-lying roads, bridges and causeways may still be impacted by floodwater.
What you need to do:
- Consider the consequences of road and bridge closures. Damage to roads, bridges or buildings caused by flooding and landslip may still exist in your area. Consider the need to make alternate arrangements for work, children, and travel.
- Be aware of road hazards including mud and debris.
- Remain vigilant as there could still be water in low lying areas.
- Obey all signs about road closures and instructions from emergency services.
- Never drive, walk, ride through, play or swim in floodwater - it is dangerous, toxic, and may void your car insurance. If it's flooded, forget it. Fines may apply.
- Avoid storm drains and pipes, ditches, ravines, creeks, and rivers.
