Rural and Regional Adjustment Regulation 2011

This section applies if the Commonwealth and the State have agreed that assistance should be given under the disaster recovery funding arrangements to rural landholders for an eligible disaster.

The Minister may publish, on the authority’s website, a notice (an assistance establishment notice) for the eligible disaster.

The assistance establishment notice must state—

a description of the eligible disaster; and

if the maximum amount of assistance that may be given to a rural landholder for the eligible disaster is an amount other than $10,000—the maximum amount of assistance that may be given; and

the day (the stated closing day) by which an application for the assistance must be received by the authority.

The Minister may, on or before the stated closing day, amend the assistance establishment notice to change the stated closing day to a later day.
