Northern Rivers Flood Recovery

NSW Nationals

Nationals Member for Clarence, Richie Williamson, is urging residents still recovering from the 2022 floods to register for the NSW Government's Resilient Homes Program.

Mr Williamson said time is running out for eligible residents to access vital support, with new applications closing on March 31.

"I want to make sure each and every person who is eligible for support receives it, but the deadline is fast approaching," Mr Williamson said.

"It's not too late to register, but I strongly encourage residents to act today and ensure their application is submitted before the cut-off."

The Resilient Homes Program provides a range of supports to help flood-affected homeowners improve the safety and resilience of their homes.

Mr Williamson also urged residents not to self-assess their eligibility.

"It is very important that residents register for the program, even if they are unsure if they qualify. Registering allows program staff to properly assess each application and ensure no one misses out," he said.

Mr Williamson also reminded residents that applications for the Repair to Return Program will also close on March 31.
