About
On 13 June 2023, following the successful delivery of the 2023-24 State Budget, the allocation of $152 million of Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) Efficiencies Funding Program (Round 1) 2023-24 was approved to support high priority disaster resilience and mitigation projects across Queensland.
Nine projects were approved to fund strategic risk mitigation and resilience activities that will create stronger, safer and more resilient Queensland Communities.
This is in addition to the $40 million already invested in earlier years for the 2021 Betterment Program and 2022 Betterment Program to restore essential public assets damaged during the eligible disaster events to a more resilient standard.
