What Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Package funds

BLER funding is supporting job retention and creation in bushfire impacted regions, strengthening community resilience and reducing the impact of future natural disasters.

How to apply
Applications are made through
Department of Regional NSW
Not through GrantWindow. We do not take applications, charge a fee or act as an intermediary, and any site that offers to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look. The direct link to Department of Regional NSW's own page for this program is one of the two facts a trial opens, alongside the exact closing date.
- This round is closed. Many Australian grant programs run again, and a closed program is the reason the alert list exists: we watch this listing nightly and tell the list the day it reopens.
- Confirm details on the official page before applying. GrantWindow records what the funder published and when we read it. We are not the funder and this page is not legal, financial or eligibility advice.

When does Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Package close?
This round of Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Package closed in January 2021. GrantWindow keeps the record because most Australian grant programs run again, and the alert list is told the night Department of Regional NSW opens the next one.
How much funding is available through Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Package?
Department of Regional NSW does not publish a funding amount for this program, so this page does not show one. The figure, where there is one, is in the guidelines Department of Regional NSW publishes on their own page, which this record names and carries the link to.
Who can apply for Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Package?
Department of Regional NSW lists this program as open to charities, community organisations, companies, indigenous organisations, individuals, not for profits, partnerships and sole traders. That is a starting filter rather than the full eligibility test: the criteria in the funder's guidelines are what decide an application.
Is Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Package still open?
This round is closed. Closed rounds stay on record because most Australian grant programs run again, and the reopening is the one worth being early for. The alert list is told the night it does.
Who runs Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Package, and does GrantWindow take a cut?
Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Package is offered by Department of Regional NSW in New South Wales. Applications are made through the funder, never through GrantWindow: we take no applications, charge no fee and act as no intermediary. Any site offering to apply on your behalf for a government grant is worth a very careful look.
