The Latrobe Valley will be providing positive support and encouragement to the residents of the Hunter Valley with message books.

As you may be aware, devastating floods have hit the Hunter Region of New South Wales – a region that shares a similar industrial history and landscape to ours here in Latrobe City. Our communites continue to survive through our resilience and strength of spirit.

Latrobe Valley to provide positive support to the Hunter Valley The Hunter Valley recently suffered heavy rains and cyclonic winds, leaving a massive trail of destruction. The natural conditions have torn the Hunter Valley community apart, resulting in the loss of three lives. It has brought down trees, power lines, moved houses from their stumps, cut roads, isolated people in their homes and shaken the community to its core. We know only too well the devastation suffered when environmental disasters impact on our communities, such as the Morwell Mine Fire. There are many synergies between the Latrobe Valley & the Hunter Valley so today we extend our support, thoughts, prayers & strength to our brothers & sisters in the Hunter Valley. We applaud your fighting spirit & stand with you in the days & months to come as you work towards recovery. From Morwell to Maitland, Traralgon to Telarah, Moe to Morpeth, Churchill to Cessnock know you have a friend in us.

Latrobe Valley People, I’m asking for your help. I want to deliver messages of support and encouragement to the Hunter Valley. We know the challenges faced in recovery and we know the importance of positive messages. Share your stories and mateship with the Hunter Valley residents.
