Minister for Agriculture, David Littleproud, has recently announced (Oct2020) grant applications are now open for Australian grape growers who were impacted by crop loss from the Black Summer fires of 2019-20.
Wine grape growers who suffered crop loss due to smoke taint in New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania and the Australian Capital Territory, but whose vineyards are outside of bushfire activated areas, can now access up to $10,000 to support their recovery efforts.
Further information on eligibility, contact numbers and links to the grant application for each state can be accessed via the National Bushfire Recovery Agency website and read details on getting bushfire ready.
If you have any questions about the announcement, your eligibility for the grant, or the application process itself, please just drop us a line and we'd be happy to assist.
