NSW Program Data and Highlights

Key program highlights and impact numbers from our NSW Program which has ended after 22 months of supporting the communities in the Snowy Valleys and the South Coast of NSW.

ABV is exploring how to continue supporting NSW communities. We have helped community organisations with business plans, sustainability scoping and disaster preparedness.

Expanding on the success of this program in New South Wales, we are now turning our attention to the East Gippsland region of Victoria to determine where our business support would be most beneficial. The community of East Gippsland was heavily impacted by the 2020 fires and continues to endure the ongoing effects of the disaster.

The Program was jointly funded by the Australian and New South Wales governments through the Disaster Risk Reduction Fund (DRRF)
