The Tweed River is now receding and as a result the NSW SES has issued an ALL CLEAR for the residents of the affected areas. This means that it is now safe to return.
A Final Minor Flood Warning for the Richmond River and a Minor Flood Warning for the Weir River are current. To view all weather warnings across NSW visit the Bureau of Meteorology's website.
