"Every time we get these intense falls now, there are people who are still very traumatised (after the Christmas storms) and we understand this is actually quite difficult for some of them," he told AAP.

A recovery hub will remain in the region "on an indefinite basis", providing counselling and support for storm-hit residents as the clean-up continues.

The residents' concerns have not been helped by landslips and fallen trees that have occurred over the past few days as more rain and storms roll through.

"Everything's just so unstable, with more rain on sodden ground things that were destabilised have finally let go," Mr Christensen said.

"Whilst that's tedious for us in terms of maintaining safe access, it's also a constant concern for people who are witnessing that and wondering about any trees adjacent to where they live or where they walk."

Clean-up efforts have been stymied with the heavy onset of rain and nine roads have been closed due to flooding, cutting access for recovery crews.

With more rain predicted throughout Tuesday, Mr Christensen said one of his main concerns was fatigue.

"All those people who were affected at Christmas, that's a time of year when everyone's looking forward to enjoying some recovery time, celebration with family and preparing for the year ahead," he said.

"Many people didn't get that. Not just those who are affected directly by the event who have already been fatigued by it, but all of the people who came to support ... who didn't get their Christmas break.

"We're all trying to find a way to recover."
