Johns Lyng Group announced it has entered into a contract with the State of Victoria for the provision of clean-up and make-safe works on private properties damaged by Victoria's recent severe storms. The extensive storm damage is spread across 39 local Government areas (LGAs). An initial phase of work focused on private properties is to be delivered through joint funding of $55.5 million from the Australian Federal Government and the Victorian State Government. Through the contract with Bushfire Recovery Victoria (BRV), effective from 4 July 2021, Johns Lyng will be responsible for clearing storm and flood damaged sites and ensuring they are fit for restoration and redevelopment. This initial program may be extended across further work phases, funded separately and encompassing public properties, once a more detailed scope of work is determined. Australia's large integrated disaster recovery and building services provider, Johns Lyng has been at the forefront of recovery and repair efforts for some of the most significant major disasters to impact Australia over the past 60 years.
