Why you should apply

The Stronger Homes Grant will help make your home more resilient, reducing the effort, cost, time and trauma of clean-up and recovery following a flood.

With this grant, you can do things like raise electrical switchboards, air conditioning units and hot water systems, or install flood-resilient floors and wall linings.

This means if your home is flooded again, you’ll be able to recover quicker.
