Recovery & Resilience Project

The Recovery & Resilience Project is designed to embed social cohesion and support community-led social recovery following the devastating floods that impacted the Condobolin community in the latter part of 2022. The Program allows LWRS to continue to provide critical human services to vulnerable individuals and families that reside in our disaster affected community.

Through the three pillars of engagement, education, and empowerment, LWRS aims to provide holistic support to the community to ensure the restoration of social cohesion and the development of disaster resilience.

The Recovery & Resilience Project is proudly funded by the Commonwealth and NSW Governments, and is administered by the NSW Department of Communities and Justice.
