NSW Premier to seek exceptional circumstances funding for flood-affected communities
The New South Wales Premier will ask the prime minister for exceptional circumstances funding for flood-affected communities, as parts of the state face months of recovery amid more possible rain.
Dominic Perrottet visited Moama on the Murray River in the state's south today, where water levels not seen in decades have forced hundreds from their homes.
"I am continuing to work closely with the prime minister for further state and federal funding, which I expect to say more about shortly," Mr Perrottet said.
