All roads are now open, however Cooks Tooth Road has been closed to heavy and long vehicles.
There are at least four slips along the road, and Council is asking residents to report any new ones that they see.
The Council says Cooks Tooth Road could close at any time.
Caution is advised on a number of other local roads, with full details available on the Council Facebook page or website.
