Council Support Fund
Parks, playgrounds, footy grounds, community centres and other local assets have also been damaged during the recent fires.
The Council Support Fund will provide funding of up to $750,000 to bushfire-affected councils to help start clean-up and restoration of these local public assets.
Road repairs
Fires have affected not only road surfaces, but also critical roadside and safety infrastructure such as barriers and signage.
Crews will be out fixing and replacing wire rope and guard rails, cleaning up trees and debris, making sure signage is intact and undertaking road repairs.
Works on routes including the Murchison-Violet Town Road will ensure this critical detour route for the Hume Highway remains open for local communities.
The Department of Transport and Planning is preparing for works on roads including the Murray Valley Highway, Benalla-Tocumwal Road and Shelley-Walwa Road.
