PROJECTS:

Seven houses raised: Hopkins Street, North Wentworthville

Summary

Seven residences in Hopkins Street were subject to repeated flooding in the late 1980's and early 1990's, causing great distress to the elderly residents. This project involved the Trust subsidising the cost of raising the houses to above the 100-year flood level and providing residents with an interest-free loan for the remaining costs.
