Bushfire Recovery Grants now available in Central Queensland

3 July 2019

Communities impacted by the Central Queensland Bushfires have received more than $1 million to fund community recovery and resilience projects.

These grants will support CQ organisations and councils to help their communities recover from the fires and build resilience against future disasters.

The Department of Communities will administer the funding.

Projects include child-friendly education programs, bushfire evacuation planning and upgrades to local evacuation centres.

Congratulations to all recipients including Volunteering Queensland, Rockhampton Regional Council and Mackay Regional Council.

The bushfire recovery grants have been jointly funded by the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
