Rural Landholder Grants NSW

This program provides funding for NSW rural landholders impacted by the East Coast severe weather from 18 May 2025.

Eligible funding claims may include:

• hiring or leasing equipment or materials to clean premises, property or equipment
• removing and disposing of debris, damaged goods, materials including injured or dead livestock
• repairing or replacing fencing and/or other essential property infrastructure
• purchasing and transporting fodder or feed for livestock
• replacing livestock
• replacing lost or damaged plants, salvaging crops, repairing or restoring fields
• replacing, reconditioning or replacing essential plant or equipment
• maintaining the health of livestock
• paying additional wages to an employee to assist with clean-up work (above and beyond normal wage expenditure, i.e. day-to-day staffing)
• repairing buildings (except dwellings, unless they are used for staff accommodation).
