Support Hub for Our Community

The detection of tomato brown rugose fruit virus (ToBRFV) in tomato plants at Katunga Fresh is devastating news for the local business and our community, and we know it will affect many people.

Moira Shire Council will continue to work closely with Katunga Fresh, their employees and families, local businesses and the wider community to support them through the challenges ahead.

Council has already provided a range of support information to affected employees, to continue to provide assistance, we have set up a support hub at the Katunga Recreation Reserve. This hub will bring together key information and agencies to support people's immediate needs around employment, financial support, and wellbeing.
