Frustrated Victorian business owners like West Melbourne’s Richard Noble, whose computer-building shop was severely damaged in the Maribyrnong floods, are still waiting for promised financial help.
after the Coalition, Greens and other crossbenchers teamed up to launch a wider-ranging flood review.
Albanese said: “These additional support packages will ensure Victorian businesses can rebuild with confidence.”But West Melbourne business owner Richard Noble said he had since been unable to access the recovery grant of up to $200,000 for medium and large businesses or source any information about it.
“It’s disappointing,” he said. “We certainly need the funds. It’s been a real struggle to get back on our feet. We haven’t rebuilt our showroom because we’ve had to focus our funds elsewhere… with the understanding this grant could come through.” He did not explain why information about the larger grant and its criteria was absent from the websites of government bodies he referred to, Business Victoria and Regional Development Victoria, but recommended business owners contact these agencies.
