Disaster assistance in Western Australia has been extended to a further seven local council areas as the state continues to reckon with the damage caused by last week’s Tropical Cyclone Seroja.
Minister for Emergency Management David Littleproud said the cyclone had left a devastating trail of destruction and the assistance was being extended as the scale of the damage continued to become clearer.
The jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements is now providing support to 13 local government areas.
