As our communities recover from the impacts of extreme weather and floods, it is important to know what support is available:
•Support for business: Organisations in disaster-declared Local Government Areas (LGAs) may be eligible for concessional loans or subsidies following the storms and floods from August 2022 onwards. This includes a Small Business Concessional Loan (up to $130,000), Non-profit Organisation Concessional Loan (up to $25,000), the Donated Fodder Transport Subsidy, or a Sporting Clubs Concessional Loan (up to $10,000) via the NSW Rural Assistance Authority (1800 678 593).
•Support for primary producers: Primary producers may be eligible for concessional loans (up to $130,000) and the Natural Disaster Transport Subsidy (up to $15,000) via the NSW Rural Assistance Authority (1800 678 593).
•NSW SES warnings framework: The NSW SES has adopted the Australian Warning System to provide a nationally consistent approach to warnings prior to the impact of severe weather events.
