Bushfire Industry Recovery Package . Forestry . Horticulture . Agriculture Industries - Updated 19 May 2020
Tue 19 May 2020
This NSW Government funding package will help forestry, horticulture and agriculture industries impacted by the recent bushfires to rebuild, recover, regrow and remain the heartbeat of regional economies.
Regional NSW relies on agricultural industries to sustain employment and economic activity. This funding package provides the direct assistance many businesses need to recover from devastating losses due to the fires, in turn helping their wider, related industries to remain viable.
The Bushfire Industry Recovery Package offers two funding streams – Sector Development Grants and Supply Chain Support Grants. Both streams will facilitate the immediate, medium and long-term rebuilding of regional NSW’s agricultural industries by:
- helping producers to re-establish and support functional supply chains
- creating and retaining jobs
- strengthening local supply chains
- increasing value-add production and diversification.
