Indigenous business organisation Leedal Foundation are raising funds for locally-led flood recovery efforts.

Donations can be submitted online here.

WA authorities have warned it may take months to carry out the reconstruction of vital infrastructure in the area.

Major bridges have been destroyed and many roads are unusable, making it difficult for local communities to get essential supplies and potentially driving up prices of vital goods.

Hundreds of people had to evacuate their homes and are waiting for damage assessments to see if it is safe to return as the massive clean up continues.

Local businesses could struggle with high freight costs, threatening local jobs and economic development.

Leedal Foundation has worked with other Indigenous organisations to help supply food and other vitals goods to displaced and otherwise cut off residents.
