Here's what you need to know today.
Further industrial action
Road workers, construction crew and other transport staff across NSW have walked off the job for 24 hours.
It is the first time this century the groups have taken industrial action due to anger over what they say is an effective pay cut.
The workers, spread across 69 depots throughout the state, will gather outside the front gates of major depots.
Workers' unions say they are taking industrial action over what they see as the NSW government's refusal to budge on key safety and workplace issues.
The strike began at 6.00am.
Man to appear in court
A man charged with the alleged cold case murder of German backpacker Simone Strobel will face court today.
Tobias Moran has been extradited to NSW from Western Australia after being arrested on Tuesday.
Strike Force investigators escorted him on a flight, which landed at Sydney Domestic Airport on Wednesday evening.
He was taken to Mascot police station and charged with murder and do act with intent to pervert the course of justice.
Ms Strobel, a 25-year-old teacher, was found dead near a Lismore caravan park on February 17, 2005.
In 2020 the NSW government offered a $1 million reward for new information on her unsolved death.
The 42-year-old is expected to appear before Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court today.
Youth summit today
A youth summit in Sydney today will ask high school students to share ideas about how cities can be better designed to meet the needs of young people.
The students from 10 schools will discuss themes like mental health, the climate, and sustainability.
UNICEF's chief of advocacy for children, Nicole Breeze, said the event would help the organisation develop a framework which would be used in government consultation.
Flood victims to receive mental health help
Flood-affected communities in northern New South Wales will receive additional mental health support with the introduction of four "Safe Haven" centres.
The centres, which will be located at Woodburn, Mullumbimby, Murwillumbah and Lismore, will be staffed by clinicians and support workers with lived experience of suicidal behaviour.
No referral or appointments are needed.
NSW Health Minister Bronnie Taylor said the safe havens, which were funded for the next two years, were an important part of the flood recovery process.
