Measuring Community Impacts
Many areas across our Shire have been impacted by recent flooding, and we had the opportunity to speak with local residents at the Community Flood Meeting in Yea.
Council is working closely with emergency services to collate information on impacts to local residents, businesses and primary producers, but we need your help!
If you have experienced damage to your home, business or property, including damage to sheds, fencing, crops and pasture, as a result of the flood event, we strongly encourage you to get in touch with us so we can understand the full extent of the impacts on our community.
The information you provide will help us connect people to services, including business and personal advisory services and psychological support, and to advocate for aid from the State Government. The information you provide will not be shared publicly, only with other government agencies that are all bound by privacy legislation for use in recovery.
Please share this information with family, friends or neighbours impacted by recent flood events. Remember, support is available. Council can assist eligible residents to access an Emergency Relief Payment.
When returning home after a flood, protect yourself and your family from possible injury, illness or disease. Learn more by visiting our Floods and Storms page.
