SANDBAGS ARE NOW AVAILABLE:

There is a self help sandbag point available for local residents at Blackman Park, Lane Cove West with sand, shovels and empty sandbags provided. Sandbags will need to be filled. It is best to have at least two people working together to fill sandbags no more than half to two thirds and please take only what you need. Available until allocation exhausted.

Sandbags can be used to reduce the impact of flooding on your home or business. Sandbags will not stop flood water entirely but can reduce the amount of water entering your premises. Find out more about sandbags using the SES links below:

Thank you to our local Willoughby - Lane Cove SES volunteers for setting up this sandbag point in between attending storm and flood jobs.
Stay safe everyone!
