Flood Recovery Resources

Practical land management flood recovery information. These webpages include information on livestock, fencing, waterways, soils, weeds, riparian vegetation, erosion, wildlife, horticulture, grants and financial assistance, and how to volunteer to help with the flood recovery.

The information in these links comes from a range of sources including Agriculture Victoria, Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA), VicEmergency, Department of Health (Vic), Catchment Management Authorities, Disaster Recovery Australia, and BlazeAid.

These flood recovery resources webpages have been compiled by Victorian Landcare Program staff at the DEECA after the floods in Victoria towards the end of 2022.

As additional flood recovery land management-related information becomes available it will be linked to these webpages. Note - if any of the links aren't working, or if there is other flood-related land management information or webpages that could be included here please send the information to John Robinson (DEECA) via landcare@delwp.vic.gov.au
