Residents of Wingecarribee and Wollondilly south west of Sydney will be eligible for recovery grants after the devastating Green Wattle Creek fires swept through the area on Saturday.
"I understand expert teams are going in on the ground in a lot of those communities today, to make full assessments and to let people know when it is safe to go back. Even if people have lost their properties, they still want to go back to see what's left and if there is anything they can salvage. We know that's part of the recovery. We want people to have access to their land, to their property, as soon as they can, but it has to be safe," she said.
