Where to go to find out about flood recovery support in Kyogle, Woodburn, Coraki and Wardell

NSW parliamentary secretary for Disaster Recovery Janelle Saffin visited Woodburn today, Wednesday, March 12, with Minister for Planning and Public Spaces Paul Scully and NSW Reconstruction Authority chief executive Mal Lanyon. Richmond Valley mayor Robert Mustow and general manager Vaughan Macdonald joined them in checking the height of the Richmond River. They met with local businesses and thanked SES Woodburn volunteers while they were in Woodburn. They were unable to get to Coraki as the roads were still closed. Photo: Contributed
