Under funding for this grants program, eligible grant recipients¹ may receive up to $100,000 per applicant for the purpose of rebuilding flood-damaged infrastructure (buildings or fit-outs), replacing flood-damaged equipment, or relocating to alternative premises within Lismore LGA. Where an applicant’s rebuilding, repair, or relocation costs are less than $100,000, the grant amount will not exceed the rebuild, repair, or relocation cost. Where those costs exceed $100,000, the grant amount will not exceed the $100,000 cap. With exception to the following:

Applicants who have received support under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and/or NSW grants remain eligible to apply for the grants but prior support will be factored into determination of the level of support available. For example, an applicant requiring $80,000 to replace flood-damaged equipment who had already received $25,000 under DRFA or NSW grant support would receive $55,000 under this program.

There will be additional flexibility for additional assistance of up to a total of $200,000 for up to ten highly impacted applicants to be determined by Healthy North Coast in line with all the above criteria except the $100,000 cap.
