About Local Government Trigger Points
Local government trigger points apply to the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) Reconstruction of Essential Public Assets (REPA) relief measure, which includes Emergency Works and Immediate Reconstruction Works.
Trigger points are calculated based on a percentage of net general rates, and are capped at $2.2 million.
Trigger points have two purposes:
- Eligible REPA damage must exceed a local government’s trigger point for it to be activated for REPA under the DRFA.
- A local government must contribute up to its trigger point amount for eligible works above.
