Ongoing weather impacts in Victoria
Dear Newsagent/Retailer,
As a result of recent extreme weather conditions in Victoria delivery of newspapers into some areas was not possible today. Some other areas received delivery later than usual.
The safety of everyone engaged for and on behalf of News Corp Australia in producing and delivering our products is our main priority.
Hazardous conditions remain as floodwaters continue to rise in many locations. Fallen trees and damaged roads also present a serious risk.
The situation will continue to change over coming days and this may impact newspaper readers. Where possible we will update you directly if required, and as conditions change.
Your deliveries may arrive later than normal and in some cases delivery will not be possible. Please advise your staff and customers accordingly, and convey our apologies.
Where relevant, a reminder to always exercise caution whilst performing deliveries and to ensure that you never enter flooded roads.
For the latest flood and weather warnings see www.bom.gov.au/vic/warnings/ and https://emergency.vic.gov.au/respond/ along with advice from your local authorities.
If you have any concerns on this matter, please don’t hesitate to contact News Retail Support, your Area Logistics Manager or Area Sales Manager to discuss further.
Kind Regards,
News Corp Australia
