The expos also provide an opportunity for homeowners affected by the 2022 floods who haven't yet applied for government support to do so.
The Resilient Homes Program provides support for homeowners who had water in or around their homes during the November 2022 floods. It provides substantial grants to assist with home raising, rebuilding or retrofitting homes with flood-resilient materials and building techniques.
All flood-affected homeowners are encouraged to submit their grant applications by 31 March 2026 to ensure work can be completed before the program closes next year.
Expos will be held in:
· Parkes: Wednesday 28 January 2026, 4 pm to 7 pm
· Forbes: Wednesday 25 February 2026, 4 pm to 7 pm
· Eugowra: Wednesday 25 March 2026, 4 pm to 7 pm
Resilient Homes Program information sessions for the construction industry
The NSW Reconstruction is hosting a series of information sessions for Central West builders and other construction professionals in late January.
The sessions will highlight how work opportunities are being generated by flood-affected homeowners who are making their homes safer and more flood-resilient through house raising, retrofits, rebuilds, and relocations funded by the Resilient Homes Program.
There is a strong demand for builders, designers, engineers, architects, planners, building certifiers, project managers and house removalists.
At the sessions, construction staff will be able to enjoy a bite to eat while they learn about the program, building requirements and the payment process.

- Parkes: Tuesday 27 January 2026, Railway Hotel & Hart Bar, 1-3 Caledonia St, Parkes 4 pm to 5.30 pm
