Queensland Resilience and Risk Reduction Program

About

The Queensland Resilience and Risk Reduction Program (QRRRP) is Queensland’s new approach to providing a strategic, annual funding program, using Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) Efficiencies. It is jointly funded by the Commonwealth and State Governments through efficiencies realised during the delivery of Queensland’s DRFA reconstruction program. The QRRRP aims to improve the State’s resilience to future disaster events across three key streams:

• Stream 1 - Queensland Betterment Fund
• Stream 2 - Queensland Resilience and Risk Reduction Fund
• Stream 3 - Hazard and Risk Priorities Fund.

Round 1 of the QRRRP (2025-26) is currently under development and more information will be provided when available.
