Flood management grants
The Primary Producer Flood Management Grant Scheme offers rebates to eligible primary producers of up to $7,500 towards the costs of professional advice, received on or after May 18 2022, to improve resilience to flooding and high rainfall.
The Primary Producer Flood Management Grant Scheme is provided under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
The rebate aims to help eligible primary producers off set all or part of the cost of eligible professional advice to improve the resilience of their primary production enterprise to flooding and high rainfall and develop a flood management plan.
With guidance from an Industry Recovery and Resilience Officer (IRRO), applicants can engage suitably qualified professionals to provide advice which will contribute to a flood management plan.
The flood management plan must be endorsed by the IRRO, ensuring that the advice received will improve resilience to flooding and high rainfall when implemented by the primary production enterprise.
To be eligible for the Primary Producer Flood Management Grants Scheme, applicants must:
be a primary producer;
have a primary production enterprise located in a defined area for an eligible disaster;
have received and paid for eligible professional advice for the eligible primary production enterprise on or after May 18 2022;
provide a flood management plan endorsed by an Industry Recovery and Resilience Officer (IRRO); and
have not previously received financial assistance to cover the same cost from the State or the Commonwealth Governments.
The defined disaster areas include Moreton Bay and Somerset regions.
Applications close on March 31, 2024 or when available funds have been allocated. More information is available on the QRIDA website.
