New South Wales Roads Minister Melinda Pavey has toured the Northern Rivers, assessing flood damage to local infrastructure.
With repairs likely to cost around $100 million, she’s promised affected councils will receive adequate disaster funding.
“It could have been much worse, but the work will get done in a quick and timely fashion, and the state and the federal government will be right beside council.”
The minister also announced a contractor has been chosen to replace Tabulam bridge, and Tenterfield Council has received funding to build the town’s first truck wash.
