The Mid North Coast felt the impacts of ex-tropical Cyclone Alfred in March, with parts of the region experiencing flooding. 

In May record-breaking floods damaged thousands of properties, some of those still recovering from the previous severe weather event. Taree was one of the hardest hit areas of the region.

At the start of August, the MNC experienced a storm that damaged properties and left more than 30,000 homes and businesses without power for days. The wild weather once again led to flooding in the southern part of our region.

Last week, the region experienced heavy rainfall and was put on flood watch.
