THE State Government has said it is committed to assisting small businesses, primary producers, churches, sporting associations and voluntary non-profit organisations whose assets have been destroyed or damaged as a result of a declared natural disaster caused by bushfire, cyclone, earthquake, storm, flood, natural hazard, meteorite strike, storm surge, tornado, landslide or tsunami.
This relief package is designed to assist in meeting the needs of Primary Producers whose assets or primary production business has/have been affected by a disaster for which the WA Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (WANDRRA) have been invoked. Assistance would not generally be available where adequate insurance could have been obtained.
The scheme is not intended to provide compensation for losses suffered. Support is offered on a needs basis.
The WANDRRA program is managed by the Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA). This package is administered by the Department of Agriculture and Food WA (DAFWA), Rural Business Development Unit in conjunction with FESA (telephone 9323 9552).
