With the region still in the firing line for forecast severe weather, residents should continue to check the Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) website and Council’s Disaster Dashboard for updates.
Hilton Terrace remains closed this morning and crews will make further assessments after high tide to determine when it may be able to be reopened.
Residents should limit travel as much as possible while roads are still closed.
Water levels are expected to slowly drop over the next three-to-five days with small fluctuations continuing around the high and low tides.
Community Recovery Pop-Ups begin tomorrow to assist flood-affected Noosa locals.

Council staff have begun deploying additional bins to flood-affected areas to assist residents during the clean-up. Wheelie bins were delivered to Black Mountain to assist residents in their rubbish removal.
