The grant is the final funding initiative under the $80 million Native Forest Transition Plan to help workers, businesses and regional communities transition from the native forestry industry.
The Plan was a response to the September 2021 decision to end native forest logging in Western Australia.
Support remains available for impacted businesses through the Closure of Impacted Businesses (CIB) until the end of 2025 with up to $50,000 available for eligible businesses.
Furthermore, the Business and Workforce Transition Programs have been extended to the end of 2025 to enable eligible workers and businesses more time to access support funding.
