Resilient Homes Program - Central West

The Resilient Homes Program – Central West (RHPCW) helps communities recover from disasters. It also makes eligible homes in high-risk areas more resilient to the impacts of future disasters. The program is being delivered by the NSW Reconstruction Authority (RA).  

The RHPCW was established in response to severe weather events that caused flooding in parts of New South Wales. The Central West area faced two major events in 2022:

• AGRN 1030 - Southern and Central West NSW Severe Weather and Flooding from 4 August 2022 onwards; and
• AGRN 1034 - NSW Severe Weather and Flooding from 14 September 2022 onwards

Homeowners in the NSW Central West LGAs of Cabonne, Forbes, Lachlan, Parkes, and parts of Cobar LGA (parishes of Guagong, Booberoi, Euabalong, Erinbendery, and Whoey) that were impacted by the 2022 events can apply for the program.

The RHPCW Program Guidelines outline the objectives, available funding, including grant values where applicable, criteria, assessment processes, and indicative timeframes of the RHPCW.
