A total of 15 councils, including Strathbogie, Mitchell and Moira, will share $15 million in funding, jointly funded under the Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.
This includes funding for 27 new community recovery officers and an investment in local recovery hubs.
Victorian Natural Disaster Recovery Minister Vicki Ward said the government would always provide on-the-ground support to help communities regain, rebuild and recover confidence.
“We’ll always stand with Victorians as they get back on their feet after disaster,” Ms Ward said.
