Flood management grants now available
The Primary Producer Flood Management Grant Scheme offers rebates to eligible primary producers of up to $7,500 towards the costs of professional advice to improve resilience to flooding and high rainfall.
The rebate aims to help eligible Primary Producers offset all or part of the cost of eligible professional advice to improve the resilience of their primary production enterprise to flooding and high rainfall and develop a flood management plan.
With guidance from an Industry Recovery and Resilience Officer (IRRO), applicants will engage suitably qualified professionals to provide advice which will contribute to a flood management plan.
The flood management plan must be endorsed by an IRRO, ensuring that the advice received will improve resilience to flooding and high rainfall when implemented by the primary production enterprise.
