Some residents in Sydney’s northwest and southwest have been hit with four floods in 18 months. 7NEWS
Then the second and third floods hit in March and April this year. The cleanup was enormous but people bounced back.“It’s been a really hard few days for people as they just waited for that water to peak and then waiting for it to go down,“ local MP Susan Templeman said.
But as the waters subside again, residents say they’re exhausted from yet another clean up. Some are calling for more to be done to help them in the next flooding event - and some are considering packing up altogether.This week’s flood was worse than those earlier this year, residents say. It crept higher into homes, leaving residents such as Sally Roxburgh, from Windsor, isolated for days.
After the March floods this year, Roxburgh renovated her bathroom and kitchen downstairs. Both rooms became flooded again this week.
