Western Qld Flooding – Exclusion Fencing Recovery Grants

Support is now available to primary producers impacted by the Western Queensland Floods Exclusion Fencing Recovery Grant of up to $500,000 to rebuild damaged or destroyed exclusion and cluster fencing infrastructure and help contain and protect surviving livestock.

Producers will also be able to apply for an initial payment of up to 10 per cent (capped at $50,000) of assessed eligible estimated costs.

The grants will assist producers with cashflow while undertaking repairs, with the upfront payment assisting with the purchasing of fencing materials or to pay for costs incurred to date.

All eligible costs incurred by applicants to repair exclusion fencing damaged by the event will be eligible for assistance, with the actual costs of works completed at the time of lodgement to be fully reimbursed.
