Resilient Lands Strategy
Resilient Lands Strategy
The NSW Reconstruction Authority has developed a draft Northern Rivers Resilient Lands Strategy (the Draft Strategy) as part of the Resilient Land Program. It outlines the work undertaken to date and next steps to identify a sustainable pipeline of land and housing to support the relocation of residents impacted by the 2022 floods.
The Resilient Land Program is part of a suite of coordinated measures to deliver a sustainable supply of land and housing for flood impacted residents in high risk areas in the Ballina, Byron, Clarence Valley, Kyogle, Lismore, Richmond Valley and Tweed Local Government Areas.
The draft Strategy identifies suitable land in each local government area to support flood recovery and climate resilient development for housing in the Northern Rivers to help local communities to recover and rebuild following the 2022 floods, as well as land that can support medium and long-term responses to future natural hazard events.
The Draft Strategy was open for public comment from 2 June 2023 - 14 July 2023. Submissions are currently being reviewed before the release of a final Resilient Lands Strategy which is expected to be published by the end of 2023.
