Money flowing to stop future flooding
The Australian Government is providing $50 million for projects across the country under the National Flood Mitigation Infrastructure Program, Minister for Emergency Management, David Littleproud, announced today.
The Australian Government will fund or co-fund 22 separate projects in each state and territory to assist our communities to prepare for future flood events.
“We’re taking these steps to protect Australian communities, individuals and businesses from an increasingly complex natural hazard environment,” Minister Littleproud said.
“Communities are going to see the benefits from this program through a reduction in the impacts of major flooding events, with additional benefits such as lower insurance costs and local job creation,” he said.
