A grant of up to ,000 is available to affected producers as a result of the rainfall and flooding that occurred in South East Queensland between the 22nd of February and the 5th of April 2022. This grant can be used to hire or purchase equipment and materials, clean up, remove debris, replace fencing, and cover other costs associated with the recovery process. Photographs of the direct damage should be taken by producers and submitted with their application or applications.

Applicants are required to provide evidence that they are a primary producer eligible for assistance, that they are located within an area declared to be a disaster area, and that they have been directly impacted by the disaster. Please read the following, as well as the guidelines, for further information.

The grant is available to be received in the following ways, with a maximum amount of ,000 available to be awarded:

An initial claim can be supported by one or more initial applications up to a total amount of fifteen thousand dollars. It is necessary to provide evidence of the direct damage, such as photographs and price quotations, as well as tax invoices or official receipts.
For subsequent claims, for which full evidence of payment is required, a subsequent application or applications, up to a total amount of ,000, are available to support those claims.

Applications that are complete are evaluated in the order in which they are received, and QRIDA may request additional information to assist with the evaluation of an application.

How to make use of it

You have the option of submitting multiple applications for the grant as long as you have the necessary paperwork and satisfy the eligibility requirements. Alternatively, you can submit two applications in total.

Example 1:

If you have bids that add up to a total value of $15,000, then you are eligible to submit an initial request for the full $15,000 amount.
In the event that you only have quotes totaling ,000 and you anticipate receiving additional quotes at a later time, you have the option of submitting an application for the first ,000 and then submitting a second application for the remaining ,000 when you receive your subsequent round of quotes.
This preliminary sum is intended to facilitate cash flow back into the company in the form of deposits, smaller payments, and other forms of payment.

Example 2:

Since you have already spent the initial $15,000 on deposits and/or minor work, you will need additional funding to finish the project.
After you have submitted an application for the first $15,000 and been awarded it, you will be required to fill out a second application that involves acquitting the funds (telling us how you spent the first $15,000) and providing evidence such as receipts or invoices and proof of the payment of these items. This second application must be submitted within 30 days of the first application's approval. for the purpose of supporting this subsequent request for funding
You are free to submit an application for subsequent amounts on an unlimited number of occasions up until the point where you reach the total amount.

Am I eligible

The applicant needs to satisfy all of the following requirements in order to be considered for an Extraordinary Disaster Assistance Recovery Grant:

Participate in primary production;
Be in possession of an Australian Business Number (ABN) and have been in possession of that ABN at the time that the eligible disaster occurred;
Have a primary production enterprise that has suffered direct damage as a result of the eligible disaster and is located within the defined area for the eligible disaster;
Have been actively involved in the operation of the primary production enterprise when it was impacted by the qualifying disaster;
Have the primary duty of covering all of the expenses listed in the application;
Regarding the expenses associated with 3 1 g) (v), (vi), and (vii) supply sufficient evidence of the incurred losses; and
They have the intention of re-establishing their primary production enterprise in the defined disaster area for the eligible disaster.

An applicant might also be qualified for a grant designated for exceptional circumstances if both of the following conditions are met:

The primary production enterprise of the applicant is located outside the defined disaster area for the eligible disaster; however, the enterprise is carried out in the area at least some of the time on a regular basis.
Because of the eligible disaster, plant or equipment belonging to the primary production enterprise that is located in the defined disaster area has been damaged.

Consider the following case:

Near Gympie, John is the proprietor of a diverse crop growing business that specializes in lucerne hay and turmeric. The primary production enterprise of John suffered severe damage as a result of the flooding in South East Queensland. As a result of the storm, he was unable to protect his land with fencing because it was torn down, the waterlogging in his fields caused extensive damage, and the electrical power connections on his property were destroyed.

John took photographs of the damage and has recently solicited several estimates regarding how much it will cost to fix everything. A good number of these were in the form of informal emails that were sent to local irrigation professionals and seed/grain suppliers with whom he has developed solid relationships over the years.

After learning that QRIDA is offering primary producers who were affected by flooding grants of up to ,000 and realizing that he is located in one of the declared disaster areas, John picks up the phone and has a conversation with a member of the QRIDA team about the application process and his eligibility for the grants. John is now able to submit the required documentation for the first stage of the grant, which could be worth up to $15,000, along with the photos and quotes that he has prepared and are ready to go.

The grant of $15,000 that John applied for is awarded to him, and he uses the money to get his recovery journey off to a good start. After that, he makes an upfront payment to repair the additional damage, and he does this before he submits his application for the second portion of the grant, which is a total of ,000. John is able to get his repairs done, and he pays $47,000 out of his own pocket for the work. John then submits a second application to QRIDA for the remaining portion of the grant, all the while keeping track of his receipts, so that he can be reimbursed for the sum of $47,000 that he has already spent on his business.

The second application that John submits for the Extraordinary Disaster Assistance Recovery Grant is approved by the same evaluator as long as he provides the required documentation. In the event that John is in possession of additional invoices, he may submit a third application for the remaining $15,000 in order to bring the total grant amount up to ,000.

Specifics of the insurance coverage

If you have insurance, you are required to provide complete information as well as a copy of your insurance policy or claim. Please be aware that QRIDA will not be able to finalize your application for the Disaster Assistance Grant until the results of your insurance claim have been determined and you have received formal advice of the claim's results. In the event that you are qualified to make a claim under the terms of your insurance policy, you are required to do so and see that the claim is settled before submitting an application for grant assistance.

Under the Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA), which are funded jointly by both levels of government, QRIDA is responsible for the administration of financial assistance to disaster-affected primary producers, businesses, and non-profit organizations.

What we mean by "primary producer" is:

a sole proprietorship that:
- invests the majority of their time and energy into a business that focuses on primary production; and
- either –
  1. receives the majority of their revenue from the operation of the primary production enterprise; or
  2. According to QRIDA, based on the production potential that has been demonstrated by the primary production enterprise, the majority of their incomes will eventually come from the primary production enterprise.
in reference to a partnership, company, or trust that operates as a primary production enterprise and for which the partners, shareholders, or beneficiaries –
- spend the majority of their time and energy working on an enterprise that is involved in primary production; and
- either –
  1. derive the majority of their income from the enterprise engaged in primary production; or
  2. based on the production potential that has been demonstrated by the primary production enterprise, in the opinion of QRIDA, will eventually derive the majority of their incomes from the primary production enterprise.

Normal staffing costs are not eligible for reimbursement unless the applicant can provide evidence that additional costs were incurred for the purposes of clean-up and reinstatement.

Permanent employees (including permanent full-time and permanent part-time employees) – only the costs of additional hours worked (e.g., overtime pay) are incurred by the company. g overtime or extra hours / days) in order to assist with the cleaning and reopening of the business.
Contractors, casual employees, and temporary workers who are hired specifically for the purpose of cleaning up and reestablishing the business are referred to as "temps." In the event that contractors, casuals, or temporary staff are already employed, but the day-to-day labor requirement that they were originally contracted to do has decreased or completely stopped because of the eligible disaster, and they are helping with clean up, then they are eligible to receive assistance from the government. These costs may be eligible for reimbursement if they were incurred solely for the purposes of cleanup and restoration.

One example of the evidence that might be required is a payroll summary signed by the applicant that verifies the staffing and wage costs incurred solely for the purposes of clean-up and reinstatement.

Applicants who operate more than one primary production enterprise, for example under a single ABN at separate locations, may apply for assistance for each eligible separate business up to the maximum amount of assistance available for the relevant defined disaster area and determined by the establishment notice. Applicants who operate more than one primary production enterprise under a single ABN at separate locations.

When determining what constitutes an eligible separate business, QRIDA may take into consideration (but is not required to) the following factors:

the arrangements made for the staff at the separate property
if the property possesses its own plant equipment or stock
the methods of recordkeeping utilized for each individual property
whether the individual property is run under its own brand name in the marketplace.
the size of the property's potential market, its financial stability, and its independence

Every application will be evaluated on its own merits, taking into account the applicant's specific situation and the surrounding circumstances.

When applying for this grant, you will need to provide a certificate of insurance as well as specifics about the claim. This is because the grant cannot be used to pay for repairs that will be covered by insurance. On the other hand, insurance deductibles and copayments, as well as items that aren't covered by insurance, might be eligible.

If two separate events have had a significant impact on your life, you might be eligible to submit an application for more than one grant. For more information, please call QRIDA at 1800 623 946 or send an email to [email protected].

Unless you can demonstrate that the business has the production potential to eventually derive the majority of your income, the primary production business needs to be the one that generates the majority of your income.

An illustration of the production capacity of the enterprise is the fact that you have begun cultivating a fruit orchard of commercial size, which is still in the process of developing but will one day be the primary source of your revenue.

You are permitted to hire relatives to make repairs to your property so long as the financial dealings are kept objective and are carried out in the same manner as they would be with any other contractor. Any contractors that are used must be in possession of an ABN and supply both a tax invoice and an official receipt for the work that is carried out. Under these circumstances, QRIDA may make a request for additional information in order to verify the legitimacy of the claim.

There is a possibility that fishermen who have suffered direct damage to their fishing gear and vessels as a result of the natural disaster will be eligible for assistance. However, there is no assistance available to compensate for the loss of income that resulted from being unable to fish as a result of the event.

You may be eligible to submit an application for a Disaster Assistance (Essential Working Capital) Loan if your company has not sustained direct damage as a result of the disaster event; however, if your company has suffered a significant loss of income or other impacts as a result of the disaster event, you may be eligible to do so.

You are able to make a claim for financial support for the actual costs of any additional labor, fuel, or oil that were incurred as a result of the use of this plant and equipment in the course of clean-up and restoration work related to the disaster.

The majority of a nursery's stock must be propagated for sale in order for the business to be considered a primary producer, but the answer is yes. If the nursery serves as a retail outlet for the most part and primarily deals in the products of other producers, then the nursery would be considered a small business and might be eligible for the assistance being offered.

Normal staffing costs are not eligible for reimbursement unless the applicant can provide evidence that additional costs were incurred for the purposes of clean-up and reinstatement.

Permanent employees (including permanent full-time and permanent part-time employees) – only the costs of additional hours worked (e.g., overtime pay) are incurred by the company. g overtime or extra hours / days) in order to assist with the cleaning and reopening of the business.
Contractors, casual employees, and temporary workers who are hired specifically for the purpose of cleaning up and reestablishing the business are referred to as "temps." In the event that contractors, casuals, or temporary staff are already employed, but the day-to-day labor requirement that they were originally contracted to do has decreased or completely stopped because of the eligible disaster, and they are helping with clean up, then they are eligible to receive assistance from the government. These costs may be eligible for reimbursement if they were incurred solely for the purposes of cleanup and restoration.

Following the rainfall and flooding that occurred in South East Queensland from the 22nd of February until the 5th of April 2022, small businesses that were affected by the disaster are eligible to receive grants of up to $50,000 to hire or purchase equipment and materials, clean up and remove debris, replace or repair damaged infrastructure and stock, and cover other costs associated with the recovery process.

Consider the following case:

Homewares are sold at the shop that Jane owns in the Windsor neighborhood of Brisbane. Her company sustained significant losses as a result of the flooding that occurred in South East Queensland in late February. The entire store was ruined by water, and she had to throw away almost all of her inventory.

After learning that QRIDA is offering extraordinary disaster assistance recovery grants of up to $50,000 to small businesses whose operations were impacted by the floods, Jane decides to investigate whether or not she is qualified to receive one of these grants. After taking pictures of the damage done to her company and conducting an online search to find quotes and estimates of how much it will cost to fix the damage, she discovered that she is eligible to apply for the assistance that is being offered by the government.

In her request for the initial fifteen thousand dollars, Jane includes supporting materials such as photographs and quotations. Jane was ecstatic to learn that her application had been accepted and that the grant had been deposited into her bank account only two days after it had been approved. This came as a result of her successfully proving that her company satisfied the eligibility requirements. Now that Jane has started the process of regaining her health, she can look into applying for the remaining 35,000 dollars of the grant, ensuring that she has proof of payment for her subsequent claim.
