Police are re-appealing for public assistance to locate a woman missing from a property about 15km north of Ballina.

Elizabeth Forman, fondly known as ‘Jean’, was last seen walking on her property in Brooklet about 11.40am last Thursday.

Police were notified when the 72-year-old failed to return home and began searching the surrounding area, without success.

Officers from Richmond Police District have continued searching with assistance from the Police Dog Unit, Police Rescue, SES volunteers, NSW Surf Lifesaving and Westpac Rescue Helicopter; however, Mrs Forman is still missing.

They will conduct a further land search today, in an area approximately 3km north from where she was last seen.
