Original story
Residents whose homes were impacted by the floods are having to make decisions about their homes – build back better, raise the house or move.
The Resilient Homes Program with its $800 million in state-federal funding was announced last week.
The Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation is charged with rolling out this funding and it will hold information sessions for the community about the program.
The sessions are on this Friday, November 4, at 120 Dalley Street, Lismore – enter via the car park off Military Road.
There are three sessions:
Session One: 10–10.45am
Session Two: noon–12.45pm
Session Three: 2–2.45pm
Each session is limited to 80 people.
There also sessions at Murwillumbah but none in smaller towns such as Coraki or Woodburn.
