WORK has started on the new $2.85-million George Street pump station aimed at improving Murwillumbah’s flood defence system, NSW Recovery Minister Janelle Saffin has announced.

NSW Minister for Recovery and the North Coast Janelle Saffin and NSW Emergency Services Minister Jihad Dib have announced that Murwillumbah and Ballina will get upgraded NSW SES Unit buildings in partnership with Tweed and Ballina Shire councils. New rescue vehicles will be a bonus for both localities.

NSW Minister for Recovery and the North Coast Janelle Saffin says betterment of a rebuilt Tyalgum Road will make it more resilient in the event of future natural disasters.

NSW Parliamentary Secretary for Disaster Recovery and Lismore MP Janelle Saffin welcomed the reopening of Kyogle Road and Mount Warning Road following $47 million worth of flood restoration repairs.

NSW Parliamentary Secretary for Disaster Recovery Janelle Saffin has welcomed the Australian Government’s $90-million contribution to the second tranche of the Resilient Homes Program. This funding matches New South Wales’ contribution of $90 million and will enable more buybacks of flood-impacted homes in the Northern Rivers region.

Janelle Saffin MP and Justine Elliot MP jointly announced that construction is underway on a new pump station in Murwillumbah which will improve community resilience in times of flood and storm events.

Lismore MP and Parliamentary Secretary for Disaster Recovery Janelle Saffin has welcomed a major rehabilitation project on the Tweed River near Uki as a great example of post-flood recovery works.

Janelle Saffin MP has reaffirmed her ‘rock solid’ opposition to the NSW Government’s ill-advised proposal to close four Murwillumbah public schools and replace them with a mega campus. Tweed Shire Council is also opposed.
