Recovery - 2024 Grampians Bushfires

Northern Grampians Shire Council is here to help residents affected by the bushfire which ignited on December 17, 2024 following a lightning strike near Yarram Gap Road in Gariwerd (Grampians National Park).

Council will be the key contact for support and recovery for Northern Grampians Shire residents. Council will prepare a Recovery Plan alongside a Municipal Recovery Committee and will be working side-by-side with the community and partners including Regional Development Victoria, Emergency Recovery Victoria, Parks Victoria, Grampians Wimmera Mallee Tourism and our neighbouring councils.

This page contains a range of support information and links and will be updated as more information comes to hand. We also encourage residents to review the content posted by VicEmergency on their Recovery and Recovery hub which also includes helpful links to organisations involved in recovery efforts. 

Need council assistance? Please contact Rohan Gow, Recovery Lead, by emailing recovery@ngshire.vic.gov.au or alternatively by calling 0400 800 186.
