Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements

For the NSW Severe Weather Event, this may include:

- personal and financial counselling
- removal of debris from residential properties
- counter disaster operations
- restoration of essential public assets
- concessional interest rate loans for small businesses, primary producers and non-profit organisations who have suffered direct damage
- freight subsidies for primary producers
- grants to non-profit organisations.
