Next time you see protests anywhere about Council rates, it's worth noting that the 2022 floods in NSW caused damage to over 13,000km of roads. That's enough road to cross Australia 4 times. Those roads were already nearly $2 billion in arrears for essential maintenance when the floods hit. There have been more floods since, and they're still coming. https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/feb/15/nsw-flood-damaged-roads-repairs-road-works
