The council has put up signage warning people not to travel on these roads.
However, incidents of road closed signs being removed from these roads have raised concerns and can lead to a dangerous situation.
A council spokesperson has reminded people that there are a number of roads around the LGA that are still closed due to flooding, and advise drivers to proceed with caution.
"It is disappointing to find out that people are removing the road closure signs which creates serious dangers for other users of the road, especially people who are unfamiliar with the area. Council reminds the community that removal of signage can result in fines, and we ask you to please leave these in place," a council spokesperson said.
A total of 130 millimetres of rain was recorded by the Bureau of Meteorology for Goulburn, with totals of over 200 millimetres reported in some areas around the region.
