Program objective
The $13 million Early Needs Recovery Program (ENRP) is part of the $150 million Primary Industry Support package which is co-funded by the Australian and NSW governments. The $3.2 million Industry Grants (the program) is part of the Early Needs Recovery Program (ENRP) and seeks to support industry organisations impacted by the February 2022 flooding event in NSW (AGRN 1012). The program provides an opportunity for each impacted industry to determine and facilitate tailored projects and activities to ensure the unique recovery needs of their primary producers are met.
The program is offering a targeted, competitive grant opportunity offered over one round of funding. Grants start from $10,000 with a maximum determined by industry type, with each industry allocated a specific portion of the $3.2 million available based on impact data supplied after the February 2022 flooding event in NSW.
