Vic Govt pressured to continue drought aid

Posted October 8, 2008 15:30:00

Horsham council and the Wimmera Development Association have joined those calling for the Victorian Government to continue drought support measures.

Federal Exceptional Circumstances assistance has been continued until early next year in much of Victoria, but a State Government announcement has not been made.

Victorian Agriculture Minister Joe Helper has said he appreciates the urgency of the situation and that an announcement will be made soon.
