Assistance is available to residents of the Shire of Mundaring and City of Swan who suffered personal hardship due to the loss or damage to their primary residence, property, furniture or personal effects as a result of the Wooroloo and Hills Bushfire. 

The Lord Mayor Distress Relief Fund (LMDRF) Board has activated a rapid response grant of $25,000 for everyone who has lost a home in the devastating Wooroloo and Hills Bushfire. 

The LMDRF board encourages grant applications from all owners and occupiers who have experienced total loss of property as a result of the bushfires.

For those applying for assistance, please head to your Local Government Authority to download the form via the City of Swan or Shire of Mundaring websites. 

A Local Recovery Committee for the Shire of Mundaring and the City of Swan has been established from representatives of the local government authority. 

The Local Recovery Committees will receive and assess claims and make recommendations to the Board of the Lord Mayor’s Distress Relief Fund on an appropriate level of assistance for individual claims.

Please be aware that the final decision regarding the extent of assistance for each claim rests with the Board of the Lord Mayor’s Distress Relief Fund.
