Stronger Together, Resilient Forever - Murwillumbah CORE, Building Community Bonds

Hand in Hand, Heart to Heart, Building Resilience Together

To build our community’s capacity and resilience through the provision of a permanent, well-resourced, inclusive and representative space that can be accessed at all times, throughout all phases, of disaster response, recovery, preparedness and lay times to offer support to all community members

Murwillumbah CORE

Murwillumbah CORE has arisen from the 2022 floods, to help co-ordinate the abundance of spontaneous volunteers and donations.

We are a group of volunteers who strive to create a more resilient community, in all phases of a natural disaster.

Since the flood, we have helped numerous local residents in both response and recovery phases. It is now time for preparedness and resilience.

By utilising grants for purchase of equipment for use by our community and, implementing more efficient systems of co-ordination for residents and volunteers, our current aim is to help with smoother response and recovery phases.

Current Project: Stronger Together - Resilient Forever

Goal: Have micro-leaders in various high-impact areas to better co-ordinate resources during response phase.

How: Funded by NSW Gov’t Local Small Commitments Allocation Program – Lismore with co-ordination and implementation by M|CORE.

Status: Calling for Expressions of Interest of residents who would like to be involved.
