Community Recovery

Note: This section is dedicated to Council posting information applicable to current recovery efforts as a result of recent emergencies.

A Recovery Centre offers more than just support in applying for financial assistance, it’s also a place where affected people can share their concerns with people who understand what you’re going through.

There’s support for your immediate needs as well as information and advice about all the programs that are available from the government, charities and local support services.

Recovery Centre staff are able help you get application processes started and answer questions about your circumstances.

There’s support for individuals, businesses, farmers and landholders. And ongoing help is available over the phone.

Agencies and services at a centre may include local council, Disaster Welfare, small business, Red Cross, NSW Health, Legal Aid, Fair Trading, Salvation Army, chaplains and insurers.

If you have been impacted by flood or storm water inundation and are seeking advice or support around waste removal, you can contact Council’s Local Emergency Management Officer, Lorrae Stokes on 0428 243 630.

If you are impacted by bushfire, the NSW Bushfire Customer Care Service will help you navigate the support and financial assistance that's available across all levels of government.

Service NSW is providing one-on-one support for you and your businesses, available over the phone or in-person.
