Member for Lismore
Janelle Saffin MP made a flying visit to Sydney to connect three generous community groups making flood appeal donations to St Vincent de Paul Society and Lismore City Council.
Janelle Saffin MP outlines her sustained strategy advocacy in convincing the NSW Government to establish a reconstruction authority to drive the rebuilding effort from the February and March 2022 floods.
Janelle Saffin has long advocated for the phasing out of single-use plastics in NSW, starting with a ban on lightweight plastic bags from
June 1, 2022.
Janelle Saffin welcomes financial assistance for early childhood education and care services hit by flooding. Local families really rely on these services.
Janelle Saffin is lobbying the NSW Premier for a regional flood mitigation funding package on behalf of four councils in the Lismore Electorate.
“If it’s good enough for Northern Australia (a Commonwealth-backed Flood Reinsurance Scheme), it’s good enough for the Northern Rivers.’
“I was very pleased to see that the Anglican Parish of Lismore had received $10,000 for two projects in a previous funding round. Kyogle Council received $3000 to assess the condition of the Mallanganee Memorial Gates.
”
“General Manager Football Far North Coast Steve Mackney says ‘sport connects communities’ and it sure does. It ticks all the boxes.”
“The Premier and Deputy Premier have announced what I have been calling for – a single, coordinated whole of government approach to the permanent recovery and rebuilding of our flood affected communities.
“Lismore City Council has a good case for this extra funding, outside the regular grants to councils, and I understand that Minister Farraway is responding positively to my advocacy.”
