Other Councils Help Out During Crisis

MidCoast Council

MidCoast Council is incredibly thankful to the Wollongong Shire Council for sending manpower and resources to help with the flood recovery process.

Two pothole filling crews of four staff in each team did one-week stints on the MidCoast doing their bit to help the local road work crews.

A spokesperson from the Wollongong Shire Council said they were proud to be able to lend a hand.

"Our guys put their hand up and offered to head up the coast and help out," they said.

"We are all incredibly proud of them.

"From all accounts they enjoyed their time in the region and said the MidCoast Council and its residents were a pleasure to deal with."

Newcastle Council also sent a crew to the MidCoast to provide assistance.

MidCoast Council Mayor Claire Pontin was beyond grateful to all the different LGAs and crews that have put themselves out to assist.

"It really shows what the Australian spirit is all about," she said.

"Our crews will take all the help they can get following the floods. There was a lot of damage to so much of our infrastructure it is hard to comprehend.

"I want to thank all the different Council's, that have offered and provided help to us following the destructive floods in May."
