The Nationals in Government have announced a number of bushfire recovery grants across regional and rural NSW.
Federal Nationals Member for Page Kevin Hogan said Kyogle Council received a $1.3 million grant to assist with bushfire recovery, which was distributed through various businesses and community organisations.
Mr Hogan said the funds were provided to the council to assist with the local-led recovery efforts.
“The recent bushfires devastated our community and it is important we rebuild together,” he said.
“This funding will provide much needed economic stimulus to our businesses and organisations.
“I would like to congratulate Kyogle Council on the way they have distributed the money.”
