DUNGOG Shire Mayor Digby Rayward says the full extent of damage to the local road network from recent flooding is still being assessed, but Council will aim to secure as much funding for repairs as possible.
“We certainly expect to see major damage to our roads, and we need to be patient as the team sets about repairing the major damage points,” he said on 30 May.
“We’ll be looking for as much funding as we can secure as a result of this damage from the floods.
“Our assessment teams are preparing that request for funding for us.”
Mayor Rayward has also thanked Muswellbrook Council for its support in the aftermath of the disaster.
“A big shout out to them,” he said.
“They sent a couple of pothole crews over for a couple of days, which was much appreciated.
“It shows you the extent to which we reach out to our neighbors and help when we can.”
