Lismore MP Janelle Saffin linked South Lismore resident Harper Dalton, of the Relocate Lismore Homes Facebook page, with the man who directed Grantham’s relocation, Jamie Simmons. Mr Simmons also met with Lismore City councillors, Resilient Lismore and the Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation.
Janelle Saffin MP’s strong, sustained advocacy has paid off with the NSW Government committing $7.5 million towards two townhouse developments on flood-free land owned by Lismore City Council.
Janelle Saffin MP is lobbying the NSW Government for a one-off $400,000 grant so Lismore City Council can construct and maintain an amenities block in Nimbin’s Peace Park. The local community has been fighting for the facility for 15 years.
Budget Estimates hearings have revealed that not one single kilometre of a promised 15,000 kilometres of regional roads have been transferred from local councils to NSW Government ownership and management.
Janelle Saffin MP again has written to NSW Treasurer Matt Kean asking him to allocate $7.5 million from the NSW Budget to enable 66 new townhouses to be built on flood-free land in Lismore. She says it’s time for the Government to act decisively on the Northern Rivers’ housing crisis, compounded by floods.
Janelle Saffin MP has welcomed major NSW Government investments in future proofing critical water and sewerage infrastructure for the Northern Rivers region, and for upgrading four local showgrounds across our Electorate of Lismore.
Lismore is seeing the fruits of a regional roundtable organised by Janelle Saffin MP last December with Landcom developing planning packages for two townhouse developments, potentially adding 66 new units to the city’s housing stock.
Janelle Saffin is lobbying the NSW Premier for a regional flood mitigation funding package on behalf of four councils in the Lismore Electorate.
“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.”
