Gisborne District Council's Te Araroa transfer station was closed today due to the heavy rain.

“The rain has flooded the access roads, which will make it virtually impossible to access,” said community assets and resources manager Laird Kennedy.

Council staff were appraising the situation today and a decision would be made later as to whether the station would open on Sunday.
