The Plan was developed for the Brisbane River catchment and will help communities across Queensland develop strategies to increase resilience to flooding.

Between 22 November and 6 December 2018, Queenslanders faced a catastrophic bushfire event unlike anything this state had seen before.

1.4 million hectares of land burned statewide during the bushfire crisis, with 4200 firefighters and 59 aircraft using 12 million litres of suppressants to battle the disaster.

The Commonwealth has accepted Queensland’s proposal for a joint recovery package totalling $242 million.

This package includes funding for Betterment, business and industry support, riparian and coastal recovery and a resilience grants program.
