Primary producers affected by ongoing flooding in NSW can apply for recovery grants of up to $25,000.
The jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements are aiding those impacted by recent natural disasters.
Key points:
- Grants are available for eligible primary producers in the Local Government Areas that have been disaster declared from the most recent storm and flood event.
- Assistance is available for the immediate clean-up and recovery costs to repair extensive damage to properties.
A full list of eligible LGAs can be viewed on the NSW Rural Assistance Authority’s (RAA’s) Declared Natural Disasters webpage.
Primary producers are encouraged not to self-assess and should consult their local Rural Financial Counselling Service or apply for the scheme so that the RAA can determine eligibility.
