Every business has a story, and behind every recovery is a team of people willing to help.
When the 2026 Victorian bushfires impacted businesses across the region, High Country Estate reached out to the Business Recovery Advisory Service after becoming eligible through the Mansfield Shire LGA. Together, we worked alongside the team to navigate available support, identify opportunities, and develop practical strategies to help the business move forward with confidence.

The Business Recovery Advisory Service provides free, confidential, one-on-one support to help businesses understand the assistance available and build resilience for the future.
Today, High Country Estate is writing an exciting new chapter, continuing to welcome visitors with its stunning gardens, maze, gallery, café and events, proving that with the right support, regional businesses can recover, adapt and thrive.

We're proud to have walked alongside them on their journey.

Last week, our Business Recovery Advisory team was delighted to attend the Murrindindi Shire Council Business Brunch at the beautiful Club.
It was a fantastic morning of networking, making new connections, and finally putting faces to names. We also had the opportunity to hear from one the leading NAB economists, who shared valuable insights into the current economic landscape and what it means for regional businesses.
We were proud to introduce the Business Recovery Advisory Service and explain how we're supporting local businesses impacted by the recent bushfires.
A big thank you to Murrindindi Shire Council for inviting us and for bringing the local business community together.
If you live or operate a business in the Murrindindi Shire and have experienced a downturn in trade, cancellations, reduced visitation, supply chain issues, or other impacts since the bushfires, you may be eligible for free business support.
Don't rule yourself out register today to find out if you're eligible.
