Bushfire-affected food businesses are facing new challenges with the COVID-19 pandemic forcing some to close or drastically change their operations to stay afloat.Eurobodalla Shire Council is doing its bit to help operators through the crisis by waiving fees for mandatory food premise inspections, keeping money in the pockets of small business owners.Mayor Liz Innes said the tangible and targeted assistance would directly benefit local businesses feeling the one-two punch of bushfires and the pandemic.“While the amounts aren’t huge, it is money that can now stay in the pockets of business owners and requires no effort from them.”To fund the program, Council is using part of a $250,000 funding package jointly provided by the NSW and Australian governments to all bushfire-impacted councils.
