Disaster funding to flow for flooded north Queensland as warnings downgraded
After bringing storm surges, strong winds and heavy rain on its path from the gulf coast to its position off the coast of Townsville on Wednesday, the federal government has announced financial help would be made available through the joint commonwealth-state Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.
“These remote councils up in Gulf Country have reported impacts from the floods such as uprooted trees, road damage from swollen rivers and isolation due to flooded access points, which has required a multi-agency response,” federal Emergency Management Minister David Littleproud said.
