RELIEF FOR NORTH COAST FARMERS

Farmers on the New South Wales north coast affected by wild weather earlier this year have been urged to access relief grants before the cut off on September the 30th.

The $15,000 grants were made available to farmers, following storms in January and February which ravaged crops, livestock and infrastructure.

More than 1000 applications have already been approved.

Minister for the North Coast Don Page has urged those who haven’t submitted their forms to do so.

Application forms can be downloaded from www.raa.nsw.gov.au or by phoning 1800 678 593.
