Ordinary Meeting – Tuesday 24 November 2020 Page 1 MM20.18 Mayoral Minute - Advocate for and support bushfire affected residents that have relocated to rental accommodation during the rebuild of their dwelling as their insurance cover rental assistance expires HPERM Ref: D20/510340 Recommendation That Council: 1. Advocate to the Commonwealth to extend rental relief to the bushfire affected individuals and families who lost their primary dwelling in the 2019/2020 bushfires and that are now renting temporary accommodation, through their insurance policy where, in most cases, cover will cease after 12 months. 2. Advocate to Insurance Companies and the Insurance Council of Australia to extend the 12-month period of rental assistance available to those residents who have lost their primary dwelling in the 2019/2020 bushfires. 3. Publicly thank absentee landlords within the Shoalhaven Region for assisting those residents who have lost their primary dwelling in the 2019/2020 bushfires and encourage MM20.18 them to consider continuing their support to residents until they can return to their own properties. Details From November 2019 to January 2020, 312 homes were destroyed across the Shoalhaven and a further 173 were damaged in the Currowan Bushfire. Insured residents of these destroyed properties have been housed in private rental accommodation where the standard insurance policy term provides for rental assistance and support for housing relocation for a period of 12 months, commencing from the date that the property was destroyed. As the one-year anniversary of the bushfires approaches, support is coming to an end and individuals and families are facing an uncertain future. In some cases, homes are currently being rebuilt and, in many cases, the rebuild has not yet commenced. The resulting stress in having to maintain rental payments, mortgage payments and the uninsured costs associated with rebuilding is compounded by the impacts of COVID-19.
