About the Queensland Resilience and Risk Reduction Fund 2021-22
Fifty-three projects across Queensland have been approved for $19.1 million through the 2021-22 round of the Queensland Resilience and Risk Reduction Fund (QRRRF) and the Managing Disaster Risk program.
This consisted of joint funding under the QRRRF ($8.3 million by the Queensland Government and $4.8 million by the Commonwealth Government) to support communities mitigate and manage the risks associated with natural disasters. A further $6 million was funded by the Commonwealth Government’s Managing Disaster Risk program to support 14 local government areas identified by the Commonwealth as hardest hit by the 2019 North and Far North Queensland Monsoon Trough.
In total, 53 projects have been approved through the QRRRF to help 28 councils, two state agencies, four universities and eight not-for-profit organisations to increase the resilience of Queensland’s communities.
