28 June, 2023
Businesses impacted by the 2022 floods who are still waiting for quotes, materials or tradespeople to complete repairs will now have more time to submit supporting documentation.
Successful grant applicants have until 15 December 2023 to submit their claims for the following grants:
- Small Business $50,000 Grant for the February and March 2022 floods
- Northern Rivers Medium Business $200,000 Grant for the February and March 2022 floods
- Northern Rivers Commercial Property Grant for the February and March 2022 floods
- Small Business Grant for the June and July 2022 floods.
These grants can still be applied for up until 30 June 2023.
Business owners affected by the September 2022 floods will also have more time to apply for a $50,000 Small Business Grant, with the deadline for both applications and claims extended to 15 December 2023 to account for labour and supply chain issues.
Individuals can check which grants they may be eligible for by visiting Service NSW’s Disaster Assistance Finder at disasterassistance.service.nsw.gov.au.
More information and support services, including mental health support and flood preparedness resources, are available at service.nsw.gov.au/floods.
