Recovery funding

When a disaster occurs it is often necessary for Commonwealth, State and local governments to provide financial support for relief and recovery activities.

2022 River Murray Flood

The State Government is working closely with councils and the communities affected by the 2022 River Murray high flows and flood to develop and deliver recovery support, programs and projects.

The national Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (external site) provide guidance on how the three levels of government share the costs of recovery activities, including infrastructure reconstruction.

The State Emergency Management Plan (external site) states that the South Australian Government may provide funding to local councils during and after a disaster. The financial support provided will vary depending on the severity, nature and duration of the event. More information, including guidance for local councils, is available in the Local Government Disaster Recovery Assistance Arrangements Guidelines. (external site) (PDF)

The South Australian Government may provide funding to non-government organisations during and after a disaster. The financial support provided will vary depending on the severity, nature and duration of the event.
