The Victorian floods which started 6 October 2022 caused varying degrees of damage to community infrastructure and assets including recreation reserves, public halls, multi-use facilities and caravan parks managed by voluntary committees of management on Crown land.
The flood recovery grants for voluntary committees of management enable them to identify and deliver the work necessary to clean up and reinstate the reserve or facility they manage.
125 voluntary committees of management were successful in receiving a grant. Over $11.8M of funding has been provided and committees of management are now implementing their projects.
