More than 200 landslips occurred in Dunedin during last weekend’s massive deluge, which battered the city and much of eastern Otago.
More than 40 roads around the city and the wider council area remain closed after more than 100mm of rain fell last Friday and Saturday.
However, yesterday’s rainfall did not create any headaches for authorities and no evacuations were required.
In Dunedin, an additional 13.6mm of rain fell yesterday morning and during the early afternoon.
"The extra rain made conditions difficult for staff and contractors in the field, but didn’t create any new significant issues," Dunedin City Council recovery manager Sandy Graham said.
"We are not aware of any new significant slips, but the land continues to move in some areas.
"Staff are continuing to monitor conditions closely.‘‘At midday today, there were 209 identified slips on DCC roads and reserves."
Infrastructure coped well with the additional rain, she said.
Three dangerous building notices remained in force and recreational facilities continued to be affected.
Sports grounds throughout the city also remained closed yesterday and council staff will make a final assessment today ahead of weekend sport.
"Tracks at Frasers Gully, Second Beach, Ocean View and Signal Hill remain closed due to slips," Ms Graham said.
"All tracks around the city are being checked, and people should take care on them in the meantime.
"The Mornington Tennis Courts are also closed until further notice due to a slip."
The council had not received any applications to the mayoral relief fund as of yesterday.
The fund was available for those affected by the floods who were uninsured and could not return to their homes without assistance. Individuals could claim up to $5000 and $60,000 was available to those affected.
