NSW Small Business and Primary Producer recovery grants
Grants extended for small business and primary producers to communities impacted by summer storms
The Australian and New South Wales governments have extended Small Business and Primary Producer recovery grants to help residents impacted by a number of significant storm and flood events that occurred from October 2021 to March 2022.
Key points
- The $50,000 grants for small businesses and non-profit organisations will be extended to the Northern Beaches LGA impacted by a severe storm on 19 December 2021
- The $50,000 Recovery Grant Program for primary producers and small businesses impacted by storms and floods in November and December 2021 has been extended to Albury, Bland, Goulburn Mulwaree, Greater Hume, Griffith, Hilltops, Narrandera and Temora – all of which were impacted by the Southern NSW storms and floods from 5 January 2022 onwards
- Lithgow LGA was impacted by the severe storm on 11 January 2022 and is also eligible for the $50,000 Primary Producer Recovery Grants and the Small Business Recovery Grants
- The Coffs Harbour LGA impacted by severe weather on 20 October 2021 will also be eligible for Small Business Recovery Grants.
Support is designed to provide targeted short-term assistance to help flood-affected communities bounce back from catastrophic floods.
The extension is provided under Category D of the jointly-funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and is designed to offer equal access to small businesses, primary producers and not-for-profits the tools they need to clean up, rebuild and keep operating.
Anyone in NSW who has suffered as a result of storms and floods this summer is encouraged to contact Service NSW and find out what you are eligible for or call 13 77 88.
