The Victorian Government is providing $650,000 in grant funding to support local communities affected by the June 2021 storm.
As part of a regional partnership, Cardinia Shire Council will share the grant with Yarra Ranges Council to support volunteer clean-up groups, Habitat for Humanity Victoria and Treasuring Our Trees.
The funding will allow Cardinia Shire Council and Yarra Ranges Council to work with Habitat For Humanity and Treasuring our Trees and connect known vulnerable residents with the volunteer groups.
The grants will also support equipment purchases and critical training opportunities.
Habitat for Humanity is a volunteer organisation who launched a storm recovery program assisting vulnerable homeowners to clean up their properties by cutting and removing fallen trees, clearing debris and conducting minor home repair.
