Cyclone recovery for Logan businesses
From retailers to offices to primary producers and registered charities, a variety of small businesses and organisations throughout the City of Logan in the firing line of ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred can now seek support and assistance.
Logan City Council has a dedicated Support for small business – Logan City Council webpage with valuable information and links specifically for small businesses, primary producers and not-for-profits that may have been impacted by the cyclone.
There is information on how to submit applications for loans up to $250,000 through to freight subsidies of up to $5000, including:
- Disaster Assistance Loans up to $250,000 for eligible small businesses and primary producers and up to $100,000 for eligible not-for-profits will cover the repair or replacement of damaged equipment and infrastructure, and restocking.
- Essential Working Capital Loans up to $100,000 are available to help business operations continue, including paying salaries or wages, creditors, rent or rates.
- Freight subsidies up to $5,000 are also available to impacted primary producers to move stock or produce, or to have essential supplies delivered to their farms.
Eligible small businesses can also seek recovery support including a free financial counselling service to:
- help identify and access available funding,
- support to develop a recovery plan,
- and offer support for longer term assistance to increase business resilience.
The Council webpage also details other assistance including a Natural Disaster Support Grant, and dates and times for when small business recovery hubs are open at Logan Village Community Centre. Visit the webpage here Support for small business – Logan City Council.
