State Government funding for a Latrobe fencing coordinator through the Victorian Farmers Federation has run out and the Opposition is calling on the government to renew its support.

Fencing coordinator Benn Frederiksen said volunteers had constructed more than 500 kilometres of fenceline since last summer's devastating bushfires, but it would take a year to replace about 1000 kilometres of the remaining burnt fences.

``A lot of the major farms have already been helped and we're concentrating on the smaller properties now,'' Mr Frederiksen said.

``It's going really well, but there's a long way to go.''

Nationals leader Peter Ryan said funding - which he believed would total about $150,000 for a year - would go towards providing insurance for volunteers and fuel for fencing equipment.

``The volunteers have been outstanding,'' Mr Ryan said.

``But you do need a coordinator. You need someone organising the whole thing and that's where Benn's work has been so invaluable.''

Community police coordinator for Traralgon South, Callignee and Koornalla, Peter Olorenshaw works closely with Mr Frederiksen and said his role was crucial to the volunteer recovery effort.

``A day-to-day coordinator is needed to organise interstate volunteers as well as our own local volunteer fencing people,'' Mr Olorenshaw told The Express.

``He has an intimate knowledge of the database and he does a superb job, without him in that position there's a vacuum.''

Nationals MLA for Morwell Russell Northe said he feared fencing recovery work would slow if a coordinator was not funded for another year.

``The system in place is a good one,'' Mr Northe said.

A spokeswoman for State Agriculture Minister Joe Helper told The Express the government's priority was to provide boundary fencing for commercial farms to contain livestock and a ``significant portion'' of fencing had been completed by volunteers through the government supported program.

``Landholders have been assisted through government clean-up and assistance grants of up to $25,000, which can be used for fencing materials,'' the spokeswoman said.
