About 80 people evacuated from Timber Creek on Friday can't go home due to a lack of running water, a local mayor says, as the BOM warns of more rain for the region.
"There’s the issue of sewerage as well.During the flooding, a number of rescues had to be carried out, including one woman whose car became submerged in floodwater.
"That's [the flood watch] still current as well, it impacts a fairly big area of the central parts of the NT," he said. Mr Pedwell said he was concerned about the impact of more flooding on the region, especially on other remote communities south of Timber Creek."Pigeon Hole is my main concern because there’s little communication. They get pretty stranded there.""I'm trying to put into place all those things — food, water, blankets, sheets," Mr Pedwell said.
"Formal Impact Assessments are being completed to determine which homes are safe for reoccupation. We are expecting access to defence accommodation today," she said.
