Victoria’s economy will still be paying a price for the devastating bushfires of 2019 and 2020 a decade after the blazes ravaged vast areas of the state.
Analysis by economists from the state Treasury and the University of Melbourne predicts that the long-term damage to Victoria’s tourism industry will be felt by regions far away from the main bushfire zones of East Gippsland and north-east Victoria.

Community Recovery Hubs to Provide Ongoing Support Following Storm
With support from the community, agencies, organisations and volunteers, Council will establish two Community Recovery Hubs in Kalorama and Olinda, to provide ongoing support and assistance to local communities impacted by the recent storm and power outage.
Council will maintain its presence at the current community hub sites until the full transition to the new recovery hubs is complete. These hubs are expected to be up and running by Monday, 5 July.
Mayor of Yarra Ranges, Cr Fiona McAllister, said that the hubs would help with the changing needs of the community from immediate relief, to more medium and longer-term support.
