The Australian and Queensland Government have committed a further $26.6 million towards long-term recovery in flood devasted parts of the Gulf region.
New measures include:
- $11.32 million Primary Producer Support Package offering wrap-around care for impacted farmers, with access to financial and human counselling, feral pest and locust management, and industry recovery and resilience officers.
- $9.98 million Disaster Recovery Grants for small businesses to support clean-up, repairs and the replacement of essential equipment and stock so operations can sustain and jobs are protected.
- $4.26 million Mental Health Program that will fund psychosocial health and wellbeing initiatives for flood affected communities and vulnerable Queenslanders across 15 north, Far North and north-west local government areas.
