About the NDRP 2017-18
The aim of the Natural Disaster Resilience Program (NDRP) 2017-18 was to reduce Queensland communities’ vulnerability to natural hazards and build community resilience.
The program provided flexibility to effectively meet the requirements of local Queensland communities threatened by disasters by supporting projects that address specific local risks.
Eligible applicants included councils, state agencies and a range of non-government and not-for-profit organisations. The NDRP 2017-18 drew statewide interest and was heavily over-subscribed.
