Strategic plan outlines QRA’s vision for the next four years

Thirteen disaster events struck Queensland during the 2023-24 disaster season, the most experienced in one season since the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) was established in 2011.

For QRA, it was a 12-month stretch that reinforced the importance of having a contemporary outlook when it came to vision, purpose, strategies and goals.

As the state’s lead agency responsible for disaster recovery and resilience, QRA is relentless in its pursuit to create a stronger, safer, more resilient Queensland. 

The release of QRA's 2024-28 Strategic Plan maps out how the authority will deliver on this mission, framed by three core objectives:

• Rebuilding, recovering and reconnecting disaster affected communities
• Building capacity in recovery and resilience through expert leadership and partnerships
• Getting ready, reducing risk and building resilience

Each objective has clear strategies and outcomes to guide the QRA in achieving its key performance indicators.

These include improving the resilience of Queensland communities, facilitating locally-led disaster recovery, and coordinating action across all levels of government.

Through recovery operations, QRA will continue to provide responsive and integrated services to communities before, during and after natural disasters.

Central to this is the development of coordinated programs that support and stimulate disaster relief and recovery readiness, capability and resilience across Queensland communities.

Natural disasters will continue to impact Queensland every year, and with a changing climate these weather events are becoming more unpredictable and severe.

Steered by its new strategic plan, QRA is ensuring it's best positioned to support all Queenslanders in the toughest of times.
