Lifting your flooded home can be the quickest and least expensive way to make your house habitable again. It involves the following process;
Assessment
We need to assess what is involved in lifting your home.
Documentation
Design, drafting, engineering and estimates.
Approvals
Development approval and / or Building Approval may be required*.
Production
Manufacturing and scheduling of work.
Site Work
Including disconnection and reconnection of services.
*Jjack is currently lobbying NSW government to exclude the lifting of flooded homes from this requirement. Your help could be crucial to the outcome. Please see our “Approvals needed” page.
jJack have submitted a proposal to the NSW Government to assist with lifting 10,000 flooded homes in NSW.
We have local contractors ready and willing to do a pilot project as a demonstration. The pilot project ideally would be 10 homes in the same street. If you would like to be a part of this pilot project please tick that box when you register your interest.
Registering your interest in having your home lifted doesn’t commit you to going ahead with the project.
A home is an essential requirement for any human being. So many people have now been displaced and lifting their home above the flood level would make an enormous difference to their future.
What else can You do to move this closer to reality?
You can visit your local member and ask them to put their influence and energy behind this proposal. If enough people do this we can make it happen.
