The BCRRF is open to community groups, councils and not-for-profits for social recovery and preparedness projects between $20,000 and $300,000.

Grants will be assessed at a regional level using regional panels to maximise the recovery support to communities across local government boundaries.
Applications are now open and close at noon on Tuesday, November 10.
The BCRRF is funded through joint Commonwealth and State disaster recovery funding arrangements.
The program is administered by Resilience NSW in consultation the National Bushfire Recovery Agency and Emergency Management Australia.
In addition to the grants, council will receive funding of up to $250,000 for small-scale, short term community activities including a council-led community grants program.
"This month we're hosting two Community Recovery Workshops to hear from our bushfire residents what they need to support recovery and build resilience," Wingecarribee Shire Council's acting general manager Barry Paull said.
"I encourage residents to attend and share their ideas to help shape proposals."
