Minns said that the authorities are particularly concerned about the communities along the stream and the rivers that are expected to flood in the northern new southern Wales.
“The northern rivers [community] has gone through hell in the last few years, “Minns said, calling on to Floods in the area in 2022When several rivers cracked the banks due to heavy rain.
