A $7.9 million investment will help the dairy industry recover and rebuild from floods, and better prepare for future natural disasters.
The Dairy Sector Recovery Strategy will help the dairy industry recuperate and build long-term resilience after the February-March flooding event earlier this year.
Funding provided from the jointly Commonwealth and NSW Government-funded Storm and Flood Industry Recovery Program (Sector Recovery and Resilience Grants) under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements and $1.6 million from industry co-contributions will help the sector get back on its’ feet.
The funding will deliver 12 projects across three working packages focusing on:
- Better Response and Short-Term Recovery
- Better Preparedness, Lower Risk and Improved Resilience
- Supporting Industry Development
