ALAN Lawrance has been Tumbarumba Shire Council’s director of engineering services for less than a year and in that time there have been 4 natural disaster declarations.
First there was a bushfire emergency last December, then a storm in March and finally floods in September and October.
“They have had a devastating effect on our works program, but this storm in October has had the biggest impact,” Mr Lawrance said.
Council estimates the cost of reparing infrastructure destroyed or damaged by the Oct. 15 storm will be about $6 million, and like other similarly affected Riverina councils is working to get roads open.
