The Victorian government has committed to injecting a further $8.4 million in grants for greater Melbourne businesses hit by its snap lockdown.
On Wednesday (9 June), the Victorian government declared that lockdown restrictions in Melbourne will ease from 11.59pm on Thursday night, albeit with a number of limits to remain in place.
The state government also committed to granting Melbourne businesses a further $8.4 million in cash support, contributing to a total of around $500 million in the past 11 days.
The Business Costs Assistance Program, which has provided eligible businesses affected with payments of up to $5,000, will give a further $2,000 top-up payment to businesses in Melbourne closed due to extended restrictions announced on Wednesday.

Business owners in Sunbury and the Macedon Ranges continue to grapple with uncertainty as an extension of coronavirus restrictions sees different measures in place in metro Melboourne and regional Victoria.
Last week, a further seven days of stringent lockdown measures were announced for Sunbury residents as Victoria’s latest COVID-19 outbreak ballooned to more than 60 cases.
Located on O’shannassy Street in Sunbury, HomeGrown Gifts co-owner and mother of four Sharyn Snook has had to scale back her business hours to meet the new restrictions.
“We’re disappointed and a bit frustrated,” Ms Snook said. “You can’t argue with the need to protect people’s health, but it worries me that the mental health of small businesses doesn’t seem to be as important as the physical health of the general public.
