The company said the inevitable cancellation of Rally Australia due to the fires around Coffs Harbour had also forced the postponement of the global reveal of the Toyota GR Yaris prototype.
Plans for the reveal will be announced soon.
Coffs Harbour dealer Warren Skinner, who said several of his staff had been directly affected by the fires, urged members of the public to donate money to support affected communities.
"Toyota Motor Corporation Japan and Australia have kicked off our fundraising drive with a joint donation pledge of $250,000 to go directly to the Salvation Army," Mr Skinner said.
