The Hon. Steph Cooke, Minister for Flood Recovery (NSW), Media Release, 14 February 2023

Flood-impacted residents across the Cabonne Shire can now apply for modular homes, with the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government expanding its temporary accommodation program following last year’s successful caravan rollout.

Minister for Flood Recovery Steph Cooke said modular homes are now being installed on the properties of flood-impacted residents.

“Communities across the Central West were badly impacted by flooding, particularly the town of Eugowra, and temporary accommodation is essential to helping residents recover and rebuild,” Ms Cooke said.

“These pods will complement the 110 caravans we already have in place, giving residents more options and more support while they continue their recovery journey.

“It’s important people remain as close as possible to their own home and connected with their community while they undertake the difficult clean-up and rebuilding process, and that’s what the modular homes will allow.”

Flood-impacted residents in the Cabonne Shire can apply for the Pods on Private Property Program by visiting their local Recovery Assistance Point, calling Service NSW on 13 77 88 or sending an email to: housingtaskforce@resilience.nsw.gov.au.

Caravans are continuing to be provided through a partnership between the NSW Liberal and Nationals Government and accommodation provider Camplify.

Flood-impacted residents who have previously received a caravan and are eligible for a modular home will be able to transition.
