Armidale Regional Council, in partnership with Kellys Transport and the Duval Lions Club, is lending a helping hand to flood-affected communities in the Taree region by donating and delivering hay bales to support local farmers and their livestock.
The hay, sourced from Council’s Wastewater reuse farm, was transported by Kellys Transport, with the Duval Lions Club coordinating logistics to ensure the delivery reaches farms most in need. These areas have been severely impacted by recent flooding, leaving many communities isolated from essential resources such as feed for their animals.
Armidale Regional Council Mayor Sam Coupland said the initiative reflects the region’s strong sense of community and shared responsibility.
“Our region understands all too well the devastating impact of extreme weather events. We’ve experienced firsthand the challenges of recovery, and we know how important it is to have support from neighbours near and far,” said Mayor Coupland
“This is one way we can contribute to the recovery efforts and show solidarity with those doing it tough. Recovery is not just the responsibility of those affected—it’s something we all have a role in.”
The hay delivery is expected to provide much needed relief to farmers working to rebuild and care for their livestock.
