Disaster assistance has been extended to Cassowary Coast Regional Council, as well as primary producers in Charters Towers, Croydon and Etheridge affected by Queensland’s monsoonal floods.
Assistance is being provided through the jointly funded Commonwealth-Queensland Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and is in addition to assistance already activated for the flooding event.
Assistant Minister for Home Affairs Senator the Hon. Linda Reynolds and Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Minister Craig Crawford said the impacted communities had shown resilience during what were extremely challenging circumstances.
