A flood-assistance package has been agreed upon between the federal and New South Wales governments to assist businesses and not-for-profit organisations in dealing with the impact of recent flooding.
Small businesses and not-for-profits will be able to apply for a recovery grant of up to $50,000.
“The NSW government has identified a significant number of businesses impacted by multiple flooding events since August, who are likely to face extensive clean-up and repair work,” a joint statement issued by the two governments said.
“In addition, Local Government Recovery Grants of $1 million will be extended to a further 46 councils in the local government areas that have been disaster declared from the most recent storm and flood event to ensure streamlined, flexible and immediate funding to support local economic and social recovery.
