“Don’t self-assess and think you’re not eligible for assistance.” This was the main message from the latest round of flood recovery information evenings held around the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Regional Council has been working with government departments and community support organisations to host flood recovery information evenings over the past week.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Community Recovery sub-committee organised three information evenings last week to provide people affected by the floods in the South Burnett with up-to-date information on flood recovery assistance programs,\u201d Cr Kathy Duff said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe committee is well aware that the \u2018recovery\u2019 is far from over and we went back out to the community to ensure they had the latest information.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe feedback from those that attended was really positive and they appreciate that Council and the other support agencies have taken a lead role.\u201d <\/p>\n

Rural Financial Counsellor Alan Broome said the information evenings had been a great opportunity for farmers to gather information about financial and funding options.
\n<\/strong>
\n\u201cIt also gave them the opportunity to hear about the extension to applications for the $25,000 grants and for loans up to $650,000 until November 29, 2013,” he said. <\/p>\n

“The gatherings gave people the opportunity to talk one-on-one with support agencies and access help in filling in grant and loan applications.\u201d <\/p>\n

The information sessions were held at Ironpot Hall, Nanango Cultural Centre and Mondure Hall. <\/p>\n

Representatives from Council, the Burnett Inland Economic Development Organisation (BIEDO), AgForce, Centacare, Centrelink, Burnett Mary Regional Group, Salvation Army and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry were present.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe gatherings were about letting people know that there is still assistance available,\u201d Trudi Bartlett, from BIEDO, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBIEDO are able to offer primary producers with three hours free confidential assistance to fill in forms or to simply have a chat to find out what assistance is available.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe work very closely with Council and the other support agencies who are all doing an amazing job.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cr Duff said the main message that the meetings wanted to get “out there” was not to self-assess and rule yourself inelegible for assistance.<\/p>\n

“Even if you are not needing assistance we encourage people to let their neighbours know that there is help available,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
