Council slashes red tape to support residents and businesses impacted by the floods
The Hills Shire Council will look to waive fees for Development Application’s (DA’s) and repairs for flood affected residents during an Extraordinary Meeting of Council, as it helps the community to rebuild after the devastating March 2021 flood.
Council will also consider during Thursday’s (April 1) meeting, waiving fees for works associated with the piling and clearing of vegetation or debris caused by the flood and will also assist caravan parks to get back to business.
To also help flood affected residents, Council will also look at prioritising DA’s, construction certificates and any other Council applications associated with flood clean-up, support and repairs.
