Forster Visitor Information Centre is closed
The Forster Visitor Information Centre has closed due to water covering the road access to the building. Water is also entering the building at present.
At this stage, the centre will remain closed at least over the weekend of March 24-25, while clean up and repairs are undertaken.
Forster Library is closed this morning
MidCoast Council advises that the Forster Library is closed this (Friday) morning as heavy rain has caused a leak with water entering the library. Council's trades team is currently working on isolating the leak and preventing further water entry to the building.
The library will also be closed Saturday, March 24.
