The State Emergency Service will receive its single biggest investment on the back of the northern rivers flood disaster, with more than $132 million for infrastructure, resources and staffing.
“The recent flooding has caused widespread devastation across the state, which is why it’s so important we ensure the SES has the resources it needs to respond to natural disasters of this significant scale,” Perrottet said.
“But this funding will also fortify the presence of the SES across NSW, building on our previous track record of investment into this vital service run predominantly by the community, for the community.” “We rely on the dedication and commitment of SES volunteers in times of great need, and they always deliver, and part of this funding will go towards upgrading 18 units across the state.”
