Comments on the amended Flood Monitoring Cameras Policy have now closed and will be reviewed to help shape the final policy before it is submitted to the Council for adoption.

Amendments

Review the amendments to the Flood Monitoring Cameras Policy.

  • New camera locations: The policy includes provisions for additional camera locations to enhance monitoring capabilities. Camera locations are selected in consultation with NSW SES and other authorities to improve flood event operational intelligence. Proposed areas have been identified for future installation. These areas have been added to the policy.
  • Updated image display policy: The specific time limit for the display of images on the Council’s website has been adjusted, allowing for more flexibility in how images are managed and displayed. Previously, the website displayed only one image every 15 minutes. The updated policy allows the website to show about 4 hours of images at 15-minute intervals, providing a more comprehensive view of flood conditions.

About the policy

Council operates flood monitoring cameras at various locations within the shire, primarily focusing on flood-prone sections of public roads. These cameras play a crucial role in:

  • enhancing community awareness of flood events
  • helping motorists avoid flooded roads
  • gathering intelligence for the NSW State Emergency Service (SES), Council operations and other emergency services during flood events.

Camera locations

Current locations include:

  • Bilambil Sports Club on the corner of Bilambil and Hogans roads, Bilambil
  • Boatharbour Bridge on Numinbah Road, Nobbys Creek
  • Byangum Bridge on Kyogle Road, Byangum
  • Murwillumbah Bridge on Wollumbin Street, Murwillumbah
  • Piggabeen Road at the culvert just west of Banksia Waters Village, Tweed Heads West
  • Tweed Valley Way (Oaks Avenue) north of the Cudgen Road and Tweed Valley Way intersection, Chinderah.
