​In response to the recent Premier’s media release, the closing date for Primary Producer Emergency Response Grants (Flood Recovery) Tier 1 applications has been extended to 31 January 2023.  

The objective of this assistance, is to assist with the costs of clean-up and reinstatement of primary producers that have suffered direct damage as a direct result of the Severe Storm Event in October 2022 (AGRN 1038). 

There are two grant tiers with a maximum combined amount of $25,000.  

1. Tier 1 is an initial one-off amount of up to $2,500.  To support a Tier 1 claim, evidence of direct damage is required.  For example photographs, quotations, tax invoices or official receipts.
   ​​
2. Tier 2 is a subsequent one-off amount of up to $22,500.  To support subsequent claims, evidence of how the funding will be used and evidence of expense incurred will be required.  Tier 2 is a reimbursement payment.
