Working together with community
Engaging directly with the Northern Rivers community is important for our agency and fundamental to the region's recovery and revitalisation. Community feedback is vital, directly informing the design, delivery, and rollout of our programs.
By empowering residents to share their insights and perspectives, we ensure they contribute to decision-making, fostering transparency, building trust, and making them active participants in their own recovery.
Stay up-to-date on engagement via our social media channels, events page, Community Leaders Forum and our Northern Rivers newsletters.
Community Leaders Forum
The NSW Reconstruction Authority holds a regular Community Leaders Forum with local MPs and Mayors to help guide future decisions about recovery and reconstruction and so discussions are informed by community needs and driven by local community leaders. Summaries of the meetings reflect the views of those community leaders and are not to be considered as Government policy unless otherwise specifically stated. These summaries are being shared to provide the local community with transparent information about the ongoing recovery program in the Northern Rivers.
These meeting documents are available in the RA publication and report library.
