Reconstruction Monitoring gets underway across Queensland

9 June 2025

The state's lead agency for disaster recovery and resilience, the Queensland Reconstruction Authority,  is carrying out its latest Reconstruction Monitoring efforts over the next three weeks in June.

QRA officers will doorknock properties in the Far North, north, and south-east regions, visiting homes and businesses still damaged following major disaster events of the past two years.

Between 9 - 27 June QRA officers will travel throughout 21 local government areas, speaking with residents to make sure they're well supported and collecting information on recovery progress, including details of outstanding property repairs and insurance claims.

This operation includes the first follow-up damage assessments for the north and Far North Queensland floods of February, and ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred, and final assessments for ex-Tropical Cyclones Jasper and Kirrily, and the 2023 SEQ Christmas storms.

When visiting properties, QRA officers check whether previously identified damage has been repaired or is under repair:

  • Has structural damage been fixed?
  • Are internal areas liveable and services reconnected?
  • Has roofing been restored?

When talking with residents, QRA officers ask questions about:

  • Personal welfare – health and wellbeing
  • Financial stress due to disaster impacts
  • Challenges with insurers or trades

Information gathered is shared with relevant councils, state and federal agencies, and other stakeholders to improve overall understanding of the needs and priorities of impacted communities.

Additional help on the ground will come from Queensland Government Community Recovery officers who will be available in high priority areas to provide psychosocial support and advice on applying for DRFA Personal Hardship Assistance.
