Mayor Lianne Dalziel has this afternoon lifted the State of Emergency around flooding in Christchurch and Banks Peninsula.

"The immediate dangers posed by significant rainfall and abnormally high tides are now behind us. We haven't had any rainfall since Saturday and we know the river levels and storage basins are gradually and continuously dropping," says Mayor Dalziel.

"The low-pressure system that was affecting tidal levels has now passed, and while they remain high, they are now within normal tidal ranges.

"Although we are transitioning into a recovery period, we are still monitoring river levels, tides and weather forecasts very closely, to ensure we are ready to react if we need to.

"The forecast of further rain from this Thursday means the situation is still changeable, but we are working hard to minimise any impacts by clearing flood debris from rivers, sumps and storm-water grates, and keeping pumps deployed in Southshore and Flockton."

Tip of the week from FB @CreatingHealthyWorkplaces (by Dani Rius)

Dani Rius - Strategic Intervention Coach (Tony Robbins' method)

Watch out for your colleagues the same way you would like to be cared for. Are there signs of fatigue? Are they o.k.? Check in and then get to work, not vice versa. When we genuinely care for others, it feels like a celebration. Start the movement if not already in place and make a difference.

When we genuinely care for others, it feels like a celebration. Start the movement if not already in place and make a difference. It IS in our power to decide to change the culture in our immediate circles of trust. Then watch its multiplying effect.

To help, New Zealand Red Cross provided $6.9 million to 179 Canterbury schools, designed to improve the well-being of children by funding a range of school programmes, events and initiatives.

Find out the difference this funding made to both the schools and students in the sixth of our 10 Good Stories videos. These videos show all the ways Red Cross helped one in five Cantabrians recover from the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes, thanks to the generous donations of people from New Zealand and beyond.

On Banks Peninsula contractors have managed to clear a path through all the slips of note in the south bays although there is a fresh report of a slip on Kinloch Rd which they are on route to.

Western Valley Road will be closed for the evening due to a bridge washout. There are alternative routes from Port Levy to Pigeon Bay so the washout has not isolated houses.

Flood water is receding slightly and rain is expected to reduce significantly overnight. However, there is still significant flooding in the Heathcote river area and the flood waters are expected to rise again at the next high tide at 3.42am tomorrow.

With this in mind, and for safety reasons now that it is dark, we recommend that people who have not yet evacuated remain in their homes, and those that have evacuated do not try to return overnight.
