A BOM spokesperson acknowledged that communities wanted local information but severe weather such as tropical cyclones were best tracked by specialist teams of meteorologists and hydrologists located at their capital city offices.
"The Bureau welcomes the opportunity to work with the Mayor of the City of Townsville to understand how it can further support the Townsville Local Disaster Management Group and the Council to support improved decision making," the spokesperson said.
"The Bureau's records show no unfulfilled requests for information from Townsville stakeholders or media."
Throughout TC Kimi, the Bureau briefed TCC including through the Townsville District Disaster Management Group.

Erratic weather batters Queensland bringing flash flooding and crazy storms

Parts of Queensland are bracing for flash flooding and abnormally high tides as Cyclone Kimi continues its 'erratic' movement.
The cyclone has weakened to a tropical low off far North Queensland but the Bureau of Meteorology says heavy rainfall is still expected to lash the region.
'Heavy rainfall with the potential to produce flash flooding and major river flooding may still affect coastal areas between Innisfail and Bowen on Tuesday and Wednesday if the remnant low moves closer to the coast,' the Bureau said.
Cyclone Kimi was about 135km from Townsville about 4am AEST on Tuesday, with winds of 65km/h and gusts up to 95km/h.

Why Cyclone Kimi was impossible to track

He said there were several key factors which upped the difficulty level.
The first was the size of the system, comparatively tiny compared to the monstrous Cyclone Yasi which bore down on the region a decade ago, Kimi was described - in the bureau's own technical terminology - as a "midget cyclone".
Mr Narramore said because of the system's size it was very easily influenced by other weather systems in the area which could literally buffet it in different directions.
In the past few days there has been an upper level trough and a high pressure system in the region which both exerted their force on little Kimi.
