North West QLD Flood Grant Deadline Extended
- Deadline for North Queensland Restocking and On-Farm Infrastructure Grants extended for an extra six months to 31 December 2025.
- The co-contribution grants of up to $150,000 can help primary producers impacted by the Northern and Central Queensland monsoon and flooding event between 2022 and 2023 to replace livestock and restore or rebuild lost and damaged on-farm infrastructure.
- Applications for the grants remain open through the Queensland Rural and Industry Development Authority (QRIDA) website at qrida.qld.gov.au.
Northern and Central Queensland primary producers directly impacted by the 2022 to 2023 monsoon and flooding event have more time to apply for disaster recovery co-contribution grants of up to $150,000.
The Australian and Queensland Governments have extended the application deadline for the North Queensland Restocking and On-Farm Infrastructure Grants to 31 December 2025.
The deadline extension will give primary producers who have been impacted by multiple disasters over recent years more time to complete recovery activities.
Primary producers located in the local government areas of Boulia, Burke, Carpentaria, Cloncurry, Doomadgee, Mornington, and Mount Isa may be eligible for the grants.
The grants can help primary producers with the costs of restocking livestock and rebuilding or restoring on-farm infrastructure that was lost or damaged as a direct result of the disaster event which occurred from 20 December 2022 to 30 April 2023.
To be eligible for the new scheme, primary producers must have received an Extraordinary Disaster Assistance Recovery Grant for the Northern and Central Queensland Monsoon and Flooding, 20 December 2022 – 30 April 2023 event prior to applying for a North Queensland Restocking and On-farm Infrastructure Grant.
Applications for the scheme remain open on QRIDA’s website at qrida.qld.gov.au until 31 December 2025 or until the available $5 million funding is fully utilised.
