新南威尔士州政府拒绝了纽卡斯尔市关于为2025年5月新兰布顿山崩后撤离的16户家庭支付土地补偿费的“优待”要求,理由是不平等和缺乏资金,无法从同样的天气事件中向所有受影响地区提供援助。 The NSW government denied the City of Newcastle’s request for an "act of grace" payment to cover land rates for 16 households evacuated after the May 2025 New Lambton landslide, citing inequity and lack of funding to extend aid to all affected areas from the same weather event. 理事会本身将支付45 600美元的费用。 The council will cover the $45,600 cost itself. 居民仍然无法返回家园,并面临持续的财政压力。 Residents remain unable to return home and face ongoing financial strain. 预计将在2月底之前对该网站进行经同行审查的地质技术评估,这将指导今后的安全和再开发决策。 A peer-reviewed geotechnical assessment of the site is expected by late February, which will guide future safety and redevelopment decisions. 查尔斯敦议员Jodie Harrison敦促重建管理局协调恢复工作。 Charlestown MP Jodie Harrison has urged the Reconstruction Authority to coordinate recovery efforts.
