Ms McKenzie said the additional damage would push back the completion of 2020 flood repairs to March next year, with it unlikely the roads damaged in this year's flood event would be repaired before 2023.
The report tabled at the council meeting stated that even though assessment of the total damage was ongoing, it was clear "the disaster trigger point of $233,000 (would) be exceeded".
An SDRC spokeswoman said more than 300 roads had already been identified as flood-damaged to some extent, with emergency repairs to continue for 90 days from the end of the weather event.
"(The) council has an extensive list of impacted areas from customer contacts and has multiple officers undertaking network inspections to prioritise the response and capture the necessary information for claiming the costs associated with the event," the spokeswoman said.
