Farmer impacted by multiple floods, looking for help to decrease impact to livestock and equipment
2025 Tropical Cyclone Alfred
Flooding 2022
A hard-working family who has a small cattle and Lucerne farm currently not running at a profit. The father works locally as well to be able to cover the household expenses. The family have been unable to receive and gov funding to help them with repairs to their house and have paid out of pocket to fix damage to the house and property.
During the 2022 flood they lost cattle, lucerne, fences and farm equipment. The property was submerged in water approximately 1 meter during the event. The house has been raised high enough, but the family would like to create a raised area for farm equipment and cattle to reduce future losses.
Since the losses in 2022 the family have been removing as much as they can to a friend's property when weather prediction expects high rainfall. This is timely and costly as they have to hire trucks to move items. There is also a risk of not having enough time to complete this task before the event.
