Cobargo Quaama Business Recovery Group Incorporated

Cobargo Quaama Business Recovery Group Inc. (CQBRG) is a not-for-profit, local led bushfire recovery group which formed in response to the 2019 / 2020 Black Summer Bushfire disaster,
which destroyed a large part of Cobargo Village and devastated the surrounding region.  CQBRG invites a broad representation from all businesses across Cobargo and District to have a unified voice for local needs in the recovery process.
