A first of its kind in Australia, the Resilient Homes Program has launched an innovative initiative to give flood impacted Northern Rivers homes a second chance.
These homes are rich in community heritage and ready to be relocated to a safer location.
Priority will be given to:
- participants in the Resilient Homes Program Buyback stream
- flood-affected residents in temporary housing
- those seeking a primary residence in the Northern Rivers.
The EOI is now open and will close 14 February 2025.
