Council will soon be dispersing $6,273.20 in funds raised for the Mayor’s Gunning Flood Relief Appeal to successful applicants.
The Mayor’s Gunning Flood Appeal was launched on 9 November 2022 following the Gunning storm event of Monday 31 October for people in Gunning whose properties, businesses or homes were impacted by the flood.

Eligible applicants must be either:
- An individual person in Gunning who have suffered loss as a result of the disaster;
