The Richmond River peaked at 7.15 metres at Woodburn, four hours upstream from Ballina – almost 2 metres higher than its February 1954 peak of 5.42 metres. All that water is now rushing to Ballina.

The government services minister, Linda Reynolds, says the federal government has received 145,000 claims for the one-off $1,000 disaster recovery payment. That’s 14 times the number of applications in the 2021 floods, when 10,245 claims were made.
