NSW Government

We’re supporting eligible homebuyers to enter the property market by contributing up to 40% of the purchase price for new homes and up to 30% for existing ones, based on borrowing capacity and lender criteria.

The property is yours and your name will solely be on the deed.

See if you qualify by visiting nsw.gov.au/go/SEHBH_FB

Parkes Shire Council

Parkes Shire Council would like to extend a huge thank you to the Parkes Shire community for their ongoing efforts in helping rehome animals held at the Parkes Animal Shelter.

Last week all impounded animals found their forever home, including two cats and three dogs, with the support of the Parkes Shire community.

If you are looking to adopt an animal in the future, please visit http://bit.ly/AnimalsForAdoption

NSW Rural Assistance Authority

If you have been approved for a Special Disaster Grant or Rural Landholder Grant for the floods that occurred from August/September 2022 and you haven’t yet claimed the maximum approved grant amount, you can still submit additional invoices to claim via our website: www.raa.nsw.gov.au.

Claims for the Special Disaster Grant close on 8 May 2024.

Claims for the Rural Landholder Grant close on 5 June 2024.

Early submissions are encouraged to avoid a longer than average processing time, which can occur when there’s an influx of claims towards the end of a program.
