Consultation has concluded
The draft Financial Assistance Policy – Drought, Bushfire, COVID-19 is an extension of Council’s existing Hardship Policy provisions.
At the April Planning and Strategy Meeting, Council resolved to extend hardship provisions for residential and business ratepayers suffering under the COVID-19 pandemic, similar to previous Council resolutions that extended hardship relief for drought and bushfire affected ratepayers.
The Policy contains provisions to support the community and is not intended to replace existing hardship policy provisions, but to assist individuals, businesses and community groups in the short term and medium term, as the current hibernation of the economy persists, and through their recovery process.
