The Hunter's Neighbourhood Watch groups will be back in business after briefly shutting down due to an insurance issue.
The organisation was forced to suspend operations after an internal restructure left them without public liability insurance.
Police Minister David Elliott reached out to the recently established State Board and met with the group to discuss its future.
Following discussions, Mr Elliott decided to cover the group with a $9,500 grant to cover the cost of the missing insurance.
Blue Gum Hills organiser and state secretary David Watmore said they appreciate the support they've received following the debacle and the organisation hopes to become financially independent.
"But the generosity of the Police Minister has allowed us a 12-month grace period to get sponsors to come on board for us."
