On Sunday about 2.30pm, 31-year-old Finlay-Jones was found with serious injuries at a home on Borrowdale Way. She was pronounced dead by paramedics at the scene.

Police believe she had earlier been in the company of a man she'd met on a dating app.

Officers were told the woman was staying at the house, which belonged to friends.

Her family has requested privacy while they grieve the loss of their daughter.

"While her family appreciate the media's interest, they have requested their privacy at this difficult time in their lives," police said in a statement.

A preschool in Peakhurst, where Finlay-Jones previously worked, described her as a passionate and dedicated educator.

"It is with utter devastation that we express our deepest sorrow and condolences to all the family and friends of Danielle.

The La Niña weather system is set to linger along Australia's east coast for some time yet but will gradually decrease in intensity, the Bureau of Meteorology says.

After months of cooler-than-average temperatures and heavy rainfall that bucketed down on already devastated east coast towns, it seems respite may still be some weeks away.

The Bureau said it expects La Niña to continue "in the tropical Pacific", however "some indicators show signs of declining strength".

"La Niña typically increases the chance of above average rainfall for northern and eastern Australia during summer," the bureau said in a statement today.

"Models suggest that ocean temperatures may reach ENSO-neutral levels during January or February 2023, and remain at neutral levels until at least April.

"Model accuracy for lead times greater than four months is generally lower at this time of year than at other times, so outlooks beyond April should be viewed with caution."

The news comes a day after the bureau also confirmed Australia's first tropical cyclone of the season has formed, which is currently swirling off the country's west coast.

"Tropical Cyclone Darian has formed west of the Cocos (Keeling) Islands," it said.

The storm is not expected to make landfall on the mainland.However, gale force winds up to 100 kilometres per hour may develop over the Indian Ocean island chain."

A memorial will be created in Perth to pay tribute to Cassius Turvey, a 15-year-old Noongar boy who tragically died after being allegedly attacked earlier this year.

Turvey was allegedly beaten while walking home from school in the Perth suburb of Middle Swan on October 13. He later died in hospital.

Working with his mother, Mechelle Turvey, and local Aboriginal Elders, the memorial will be a space of remembrance and reflection at Weeip Park in Midland.

City of Swan councillors passed a motion to create the space and hold an unveiling for the community when it is completed.

Councillor Cate McCullough, who put forward the motion, said it was important to commemorate the loss of an innocent young man in the spirit of reconciliation.

"A remembrance and reflection space will be a reminder of Cassius Turvey: an emerging, inspiring and gentle leader who even in his short life, has left a significant legacy in our communities, across our nation and the world," she said.

Splendour in the Grass organisers have been fined a whopping $100,000 for failing to comply with a traffic management plan at this year's festival.

Ten primary and secondary schools within a 10-kilometre radius of the festival held at North Byron Shire Parklands, Byron Bay, will receive $10,000 each after significant traffic at the 2022 festival disrupted students and teachers.

North Byron Shire Parklands is managed by Billinudgel Property, who the department of planning and environment is taking compliance action against.

"Traffic queuing resulted in short term, but significant traffic delays to the community, including school children travelling home from school on Thursday, 21 July 2022," a department of planning spokesperson said.

"After considering all of the options available to us, we have decided that the best outcome for the  community is for the company to contribute financially to improvements to nearby schools through  an enforceable undertaking."

The schools will be able to use the money at their own discretion to make improvements.

Splendour in the Grass will have to undertake an independent audit a year early due to not complying with the traffic plan.

"That independent audit will help determine whether other conditions were breached at this year's event and, if that is the case, we will take further enforcement action if necessary," the spokesperson said.

"It will also provide recommendations to improve the existing environmental management plans in place."

The outcome of the audit is expected to be handed down early next year before the next festival goes ahead.

It comes after the 2022 Splendour in the Grass festival was hit by torrential rain causing the grounds to turn into a mud pit and flooding campers' tents.

Campers waited hours along highways to enter the grounds before being told they were closed due to the flooding.

Day one of the festival was cancelled due to the wild weather and organisers were slammed by festivalgoers over the lack of organisation at campsites and for travel.

Falls Festival is set to go ahead over New Years at Byron Bay and traffic management plans will be reviewed in light of the chaos at Splendour in the Grass.
