  • Metropolitan Melbourne
  • Mitchell Shire
  • Surf Coast Shire
  • The City of Greater Geelong

Businesses affected need to have incurred direct expenses due to the COVID-19 construction shutdown restrictions between 21 September to 4 October 2021, which have not been and will not be partially or fully recovered or reimbursed.

The payments of up to $8,400 will be available to entitled businesses based upon the payroll size.

  • $2000 for non-employing businesses
  • $2800 for employing businesses with annual payroll below $650,000
  • $5600 for employing businesses with an annual payroll between $650,000 and less than $3 million
  • $8400 for employing businesses with an annual payroll between $3 million and $10 million.

Businesses that receive funding under the Business Costs Assistance Program Round Four – Construction will not be eligible for automatic top-up payments under the Business Costs Assistance Program Round Two and the Business Costs Assistance Program Round Two July Extension.
