Bushfire recovery and COVID-19

While COVID-19 introduces a new challenge to bushfire recovery, the NSW Government and Coffs Harbour City Council are determined to maintain momentum and keep delivering help to bushfire impacted communities.

The way in which assistance is delivered will have to adapt to the new circumstances.

The NSW Government program with clean-up program with Laing O’Rourke will continue. It’s been deemed an essential service.

Community and contractor safety is paramount. Laing O’Rourke project teams are implementing measures to protect our community and staff and contractors.

They are still aiming to have most of the residential properties cleared by 30 June.

Properties used for residential, small business or primary production purposes are eligible for the clean-up program. This includes insured and uninsured properties.

While free, you must opt-on for clean-up. Call Service NSW on 13 77 88 to register, or do it online.
