The Australian and State Governments have partnered to release Phase 2 of the Bushfire Recovery and Resilience Fund. Stream 1 of this fund provides a total of $250,000 to Walcha Council for Council and Community led projects that help their community over come the social and physical impact of the bushfires.
Council has allocated a significant portion of this funding to be available to community groups and organisations to apply for. The objective of this funding is to deliver flexible, small-scale grants to locally led community recovery activities. This funding is intended to be flexible in order to meet recovery needs of local communities.
Projects will need to contribute to fulfill one or more of the following Disaster Recovery Outcomes:
- The needs of vulnerable groups are addressed in disaster recovery
- The community is aware of the disaster recovery processes
- The community can express its changing disaster recovery needs
- Community members are aware of the risks of future disasters
- The community has improved capacity and capability to respond to future disasters
- Business and not-for-profits have in place adequate mitigation practices for risks and threats
- Government, private sector, civil society and organisations are engaged in plans for preparedness and management of the recovery.
All approved projects must be delivered by 30 June 2022.
