DISASTER FUNDING FOR NAMBUCCA FARMERS

Farmers affected by storms, which hit the Nambucca Shire earlier this year, are now able to apply for natural disaster assistance.

Deputy Premier and Member for Oxley, Andrew Stoner, says the storms, which caused damage in excess of $300,000, destroyed farm buildings and killed livestock.

The strong winds also brought down trees which damaged power lines, crops and fences.

The Natural Disaster Declaration means eligible farmers can apply for low interest loans of up to $130,000 from the Rural Assistance Authority.
