A recovery coordinator has been appointed by the NSW government to manage clean up and repair efforts following significant flooding across the North West region.
Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience and Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke said Mel Gore had been appointed to oversee efforts for the North Coast and North West.
Appointments were also announced for other flood-affected regions.
“These appointments will help ensure the transition from response to recovery is timely and effective, to give flood-affected communities across the state the support they need,” Ms Cooke said.
Ms Cooke said the flooding has been widespread and slow moving, but as waters begin to recede rapid damage assessments will ramp up.
“It has been an incredible effort by all our emergency services personnel and volunteers, led by the NSW State Emergency Service (SES), in responding to the flooding which has impacted almost every river catchment west of the Great Dividing Range,” Ms Cooke said.
