Impact
In June 2021 Victoria experienced a severe weather event that included heavy rainfall and destructive winds. Throughout this 48-hour period, parts of Victoria recorded more than 280 mm of rain and experienced wind gusts of more than 100 km per hour.
The severe weather resulted in major flooding, landslips, debris, and fallen trees and powerlines. This caused extensive damage to residences and critical energy and telecommunications infrastructure, as well as blocking roads and tracks.
Recovery
The June 2021 Flood and Storm had a serious impact on communities, and we know that recovery will take time.
Emergency Recovery Victoria is supporting the clean-up and recovery work for communities impacted by the storms.
Our essential purpose is to facilitate effective, efficient and appropriate community recovery outcomes.
Clean-up
The Residential Flood and Storm Clean-up program was established to help property owners restore their land after the 2021 storms.
The program focused on residential properties with structures that were destroyed or damaged beyond repair. Structures were cleared and removed along with any hazards cleared to access a structure.
