The Albanese and Allan Labor Governments are continuing to support Victorian communities affected by the 2022 flood and storm events with further disaster recovery funding to improve infrastructure.
Four councils will share in $1.8 million from the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements including Greater Shepparton City Council.
This betterment funding allows councils to upgrade disaster-damaged roads, bridges, footpaths and drains to a higher standard – protecting them from future damage caused by serious weather events.
“Recovery is a long road, and we will always make sure these communities get the ongoing support they need to get back on track,” said Member for Northern Victoria Jaclyn Symes.
