Australia-More flooding for the north.

The Queensland Government has cancelled meetings that were to be held at Ayr, south of Townsville today as part of a Community Cabinet meeting.

A spokesman for Premier Anna Bligh says people who have already made deputations will be contacted by the relevant Minister or department head.

Meanwhile, the Queensland Government says individual graziers affected by flooding in the state’s north-west may be entitled to new government assistance.

Primary Industries Minister Tim Mulherin has activated the joint State and Federal Government scheme.

Mr Mulherin says it is the biggest flood event in the region in 15 years and many graziers have lost stock and face hefty repair bills.

He says property owners can apply for Individual Disaster-stricken Property Declaration and Assistance.

But he says despite the devastation the rain is welcomed.

"Mayors are reporting that whilst there’s minimal stock losses, the overall effects of this rain following the heart-breaking drought is more than welcome," Mr Mulherin said.

"This rain will be millions and millions of dollars in increased production for graziers.
