Grants available for NSW fire-affected

NSW residents in 37 communities affected by bushfires will be able to access natural disaster assistance.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard and NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell announced the assistance measures on Wednesday as 135 fires continue to burn across the state.

"Yesterday across the state we faced extreme bushfire conditions and the threat remains with more than 130 fires still burning," Mr OFarrell said.

"Thankfully there has been no loss of life or large scale loss of houses, however, the bushfires have had a devastating effect on livestock and farmland."

More local government areas may be declared in coming days as further assessments are completed.

A range of assistance grants are in the process of being made available, including disaster relief grants to eligible individuals and families whose homes and essential household items have been destroyed or damaged.

Grants are available to councils to help them meet the additional costs of emergency work to restore essential services and a special scheme is available to assist sporting clubs in meeting the costs of restoration of essential club facilities that have been damaged or destroyed.
