Council votes to provide relief to bushfire-impacted property owners
City of Swan Council have voted to apply rates concessions to bushfire-affected residents and waive building and planning application fees, representing an estimated $476,000 saving for ratepayers and those rebuilding in the fire affected area.
For ratepayers, the decisions made at the April 14 Council Meeting means:
For properties that are damaged but the house is habitable, the City will apply a one-off pro-rata credit for the 2020/21 Council rates for the period from 1 February to 30 June 2021.
For properties that are destroyed and the houses are not habitable, the City will apply a one-off credit for the full 2020/21 Council rates.

Wooroloo Bushfire Coordinated Residential Clean-Up Program Announced
The City of Swan and Shire of Mundaring welcome today’s announcement by Minister for Emergency Services, the Hon Francis Logan MLA to commence the Wooroloo Bushfire Coordinated Residential Clean-Up Program.
The residential clean-up is part of an $18.1 million Commonwealth and State funded community recovery package and will assist residents whose homes were destroyed or damaged by the Wooroloo bushfire.
The clean-up will ensure safe removal of bushfire damaged houses, structures and vehicles, as well as trees deemed a safety risk, from residential blocks to enable rebuilding.
Residents whose homes have been destroyed or damaged by the bushfire are eligible for this clean-up program whether they are fully insured, partly insured or not insured.

These arrangements apply to all job seekers in jobactive, Online Employment Services, Disability Employment Services and participants in the ParentsNext program.
This announcement means job seekers will not be penalised for being unable to either attend, or report their attendance, at appointments or activities. Payments will not be suspended and no compliance action will be taken. Job seekers in these regions who are in a position to continue their search for employment are encouraged to do so.
We are conscious of the enormous challenge of rebuilding the bushfire devastated communities. Australians are resilient and want to rebuild – and we will be with them every step of the way.
The Lord Mayor Distress Relief Fund (LMDRF) Board this afternoon agreed to activate a rapid response grant of $25,000 for those who have lost their homes.
