Funding (currently activated)
To be eligible for funding, an organisation must be located in a Local Government Area (LGA) listed as activated for either “Personal Hardship Assistance” or “Reconstruction of Essential Public Assets” on the Queensland Government’s Disaster Management website.
Where the organisation’s LGA is listed, funding will be available for application up to 3 months from the latest activation date.
Example
Under ‘Wide Bay-Burnett Severe Storms, 11–14 October 2018’, Fraser Coast Regional Council and South Burnett Regional Council were activated for Restoration of Essential Public Assets on 18 October 2018, so organisations in this area could apply until 18 January 2019.
Up to $5,000 in funding to assist in immediate clean-up efforts. This may include:
- replacement of damaged equipment that directly relates to the re-establishment of activities (including office and canteen equipment)
- payment of services and hire costs, and purchase of equipment and tools that assist in short term clean-up of facilities
- reimbursement for the purchase of the above made from the date of the relevant disaster
