Crown paper roads impacted by flooding

Crown paper roads are owned and managed by the NSW Government.

Through the regional recovery network, we have been advocating for additional support for landowners who had the private accessways to their homes damaged in the 2022 flood events.

When we are made aware of issues with private accessways, we can include it in our regular discussions with NSW Government.
