Residents are reminded that sand and sandbags remain available for those wishing to make their own preparations.
Community members can still access sand and sandbags at the following locations:
Cordelia – Carr’s Farm
Halifax – Lancini’s Farm Shed, Scott Street
Lucinda – Lions Park, Patterson Parade (near the Coastguard)
Taylors Beach – Progress Park
Forrest Beach – Near the water tower and skate park
Residents are encouraged to keep any existing sandbags in place and store unused sandbags in a dry area to ensure they remain intact, as they deteriorate quickly when wet.
Sandbags remain a key component of wet‑season preparedness.
Even if they are ultimately not required, having them ready provides protection and reassurance while weather conditions continue to evolve.
The Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) continues to actively monitor weather conditions and associated risks.
The LDMG thanks residents for their continued preparedness, cooperation, and community support.
