More than $11 million has been approved for a range of projects that will help with the economic and social recovery in Queensland communities that were heavily impacted by last year’s bushfires.
Minister for Emergency Management David Littleproud said 12 projects had been approved in the second round of the $36.8 million Local Economic Recovery Program.
“The Local Economic Recovery (LER) Program is jointly funded by the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements and we are pleased to provide this extraordinary assistance,” Minister Littleproud said.
