Wentworth Shire Council continues to support residents impacted by the 2022-2023 floods, with funding arrangements underway to assist those in the clean-up phase.
NSW Reconstruction Authority and Wentworth Shire Council will be introducing an assessment process for residential properties to clean-up disaster debris & waste – to make homes safe, habitable and accessible.
Individual property assessment
If your residential property was directly impacted by flood waters, you may be eligible for the clean-up program. Wentworth Shire Council will assess properties individually, prior to skip bin deliveries, to assess flood related debris and waste items.
To assist with property assessments, we ask residential customers to register their details, including:
- The property address of your residence
- Areas of your property that were impacted by flood waters
- The type/s of debris and waste to be collected
Where possible, please supply photographs of debris and waste and the locations of impacted areas.
Types of debris and waste that are eligible for collection
- Event related debris such as mud, damaged furniture and white goods
- Spoiled perishable food items
- Building material debris such as tiles, bricks, roof sheeting and broken glass
- Trees removed by State Emergency Service members (or equivalent) which impacted the safe access to a house
