The Australian and Victorian Governments have joined forces to support communities affected by the floods in October and November 2022, with millions already provided.<\/p>\n
Under the Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements, the Federal and State Governments have provided more than $11.8 million to 125 voluntary committees of management, to help restored recreation areas and facilities damaged by the floods.<\/p>\n
Federal Member for Hawke, Sam Rae, said the funding was helping communities like Moorabool get back on their feet.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis vital funding will help restore our much-loved community facilities after the devastating floods in 2022. Our communities across Moorabool Shire saw first-hand the impact of the devastating floods. This is just another way we\u2019re working to support their recovery.\u201d Mr Rae said.<\/p>\n
One local group affected by the floods was the Ballan Golf Club, with member Les Martin saying the Club suffered extensive course damage.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited that this funding will allow our golf club to continue to provide the Ballan community, and indeed Moorabool residents, as well as state and interstate visitors, including world travellers with the benefits from our golf course,\u201d Mr Martin said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur golf club has not been developed for only playing golf but provides a picturesque tour along recreational pathways for families, senior citizens, and groups with interests in fauna and flora and caters for dogs\/pets on leashes.\u201d<\/p>\n
