Federal Labor is calling for greater assistance for Tasmania's flood-affected farmers that won't leave them further in debt.
Opposition environment and water spokesman Tony Burke on Tuesday visited the northwest centre of Latrobe where landowners are still reeling from devastating floods in June that destroyed fences, ruined irrigation systems and left riverbed silt across paddocks.
"There has to be an offer to the farmers that are affected of more than an invitation to take on more debt," Mr Burke said, citing interest-free loans available to primary producers hit by floods.
"If the only thing the Commonwealth can offer is an invitation to take on more debt, that's not good enough."
Joined by state and federal counterparts Mr Burke toured a property and saw first-hand the problems that continue four months after the flood, when more heavy rain is posing a further threat.
The Bureau of Meteorology on Tuesday maintained flood warnings for eight rivers across the state including the Mersey nearby Latrobe.
"Due to changes in the river dynamics after the recent flooding, elevated river levels and localised minor flooding will continue in the middle and lower reaches of the Mersey River Tuesday," the BoM website said.
Mr Burke said assistance should be made immediately available to land owners struggling with floods.
"Because if you don't do it quickly, then if you get another big rain event ... coming through, then the damage second time round is that much worse," he added.
The senior Labor politician admitted that sometimes environmental considerations can make quick clean-up works complex, but said planning legislation could be refined to help the process.
"In a place like Tasmania, where we know this won't be the last flood, there should be some plans that are put in place that give a very simple guide to people, following the disaster, as to what's reasonable to act on immediately," Mr Burke said.
"And that sort of guidance gives people the open door as to what they can do straight away, in getting their property back up to scratch."
Parts of Tasmania are forecast to receive up to another 100mm of rain over the next week.
