The Australian and Queensland Governments are providing $170 million in Betterment funding to build essential public infrastructure damaged in the 2021-22 disaster season to a more resilient standard.
The Betterment Fund will be jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments and is being administered by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority.
Extraordinary disaster assistance of $105 million is now available to local councils and state agencies to clean up and repair community and recreational assets damaged in the major floods of the 2021-22 disaster season.
Expressions of Interest are now open for the funding, which is available to councils and state agencies in 37 flood-affected local government areas.
Disaster assistance has been extended to more flood-affected communities after the Northern and Central-Western Queensland event during April and May.
The assistance is made available through the jointly funded Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.
