Council’s Community Recovery Grants Program was established in July 2020 to support Towong Shire communities impacted by the bushfires, through locally-led recovery initiatives.

The program was funded by a $500,000 grant from the Federal Government’s Bushfire Recovery Program and a $200,000 grant from the State Government’s Community Recovery and Resilience Grants Program.
