Flood assistance extended to Southern Downs primary producers
Minister for Agricultural Industry Development and Fisheries and Minister for Rural Communities The Honourable Mark Furner
Disaster assistance has been extended to help primary producers in the Southern Downs recover, following the heavy rainfall and flash flooding that drenched Southern Queensland in late March.
Assistance is being provided through the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
Minister for Emergency Management David Littleproud said DRFA Category B assistance, including low interest loans and freight subsidies, has been activated to help affected primary producers on their road recovery in the local government area of Southern Downs Regional Council.

After years in executive roles at Southern Downs Regional Council, former acting CEO Jane Stroud has announced her sudden resignation in line with the organisation’s “new direction”.
Mrs Stroud was appointed as the council’s director of sustainable development in 2018, and in that time led her team through a range of strategic and community endeavours.
SDRC CEO Dave Burges said the former director and acting CEO originally applied for a contract renewal, but they eventually came to an agreement that “the region would benefit from fresh changes at the executive level”.
“Change is part of every organisation, and often new leadership brings new direction,” Mr Burges said.
