Statement – Disaster assistance following WA flooding
Disaster assistance has been made available to help communities in the Mid-West, Gascoyne and Wheatbelt regions recover from damage caused by severe flooding in early March.
Assistance is being provided through the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
Minister for Emergency Management David Littleproud said the financial assistance would help the local governments of Dandaragan, Greater Geraldton, Menzies, Mt Marshall, Northam and Victoria Plains with clean-up operations from fallen trees on roads and restore damaged road infrastructure.
“The severe weather system in early March caused significant damage and distress for these communities,” Minister Littleproud said.
