A Disaster Recovery Information Centre will open at Council’s Customer Service Centre, at Mona Vale on Friday 10 June for residents who have been impacted by the recent storm.

Administrator Dick Persson said that Council had been working very closely with the Office of Emergency Management NSW to set up the centre, which will be a hub for information and advice on a range of government and welfare services.

“Resident safety will always be our first priority, but now that a few days has passed and we have a clearer idea of what we are dealing with, we are now able to help our community with rebuilding their lives,” said Mr Persson.

The Disaster Recovery Information Centre will operate from Friday 10-17 June.  The Northern Beaches Council has also opened a temporary 24 hour Coastal Erosion Hotline for residents - 9942 2557.

The Disaster Recovery Information Centre will provide a range of services, these include:

  • Disaster Welfare Services
  • SafeWork NSW
  • NSW Fair Trading
  • Housing NSW
  • LegalAid
  • NSW Health
  • Insurance Council of Australia
  • NRMA, CGU and Coles Insurance
