Initial assessments have now been carried out for 1,213 registered homeowners, 364 valuations undertaken and 4 settlements complete.
Buybacks are being prioritised in some of the hardest flood hit areas, where homes are exposed, under most flood scenarios, to floodwaters that are both high and fast.
On Friday 2 June 2023 the NRRC released the Draft Resilient Lands Strategy, under the $100 million Resilient Land Program.
The Draft Strategy sets out next steps to identify a sustainable pipeline of land and housing to support the relocation of residents impacted by the 2022 floods. 22 sites have been shortlisted for housing, with the first sites expected in early 2024.
This week the NRRC opened its Homeowner pop-up in Lismore and residents can either book sessions ‘by appointment’ or by walking in on select days.
‘By appointment’ sessions can be booked with case managers or via the Resilient Homes Program info hub: tel:1800 844 085 or email: [email protected].
