Flood damage reminder
Producers who have experienced loss or damage to their property in the recent floods are encouraged to fill in our Natural Disaster Impact Survey to help the Queensland Government and industry quickly assess the regions for financial recovery assistance.
Keep records of any impacts, including date-stamped photos. This will inform eligibility for assistance as each natural disaster event is a separate claim. Producers will need to assess and document damages and losses from this event to submit a claim once Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements are activated.
