Recovery Efforts

We are currently assessing damage to all roads and infrastructure when able, after waters recede and on that basis a priority list will be put together and, the Shire will work through those projects as expediently as possible.

Emergency Assistance 

The aftermath of a flood can bring high levels of stress and trauma, especially if your community has experienced destruction, injuries, or loss of life, as well as isolation or loss of services. It’s important to prioritise your mental health and wellbeing during this time.
