West Wimmera Shire Council will donate $2500 to support BlazeAid’s ongoing recovery efforts, following fires that affected about 95 per cent of the Little Desert National Park.
Council Mayor Tim Meyer said many farmers and property owners urgently needed to repair fencing to continue their operations.
“BlazeAid’s mobilisation to the region is vital to restoring infrastructure,” he said.
“BlazeAid has a strong track record of providing essential recovery services in the aftermath of natural disasters. With extensive damage caused by the recent fires, this funding will help ensure the necessary recovery efforts can begin quickly and efficiently.”
