Logging of Property and Project Damage
 
We are asking landholders within the region to let us know about the extent of damage to livelihoods and property they have experienced as a result of the floods. We are also looking to receive information about damage to current or past partnered projects.
 
This information will form the basis for submissions the Australian and State governments in order to determine the additional funding assistance that may be required.
