The region is being inundated with election promises, the latest coming from Labor, committing to a $12-million National Institute for Flood Resilience at Southern Cross University.
The Institute will include a new network of smart sensors and the establishment of a Flood Response Centre.

Labor says the Institute will complement the existing National Centre for Flood Research.
