Building Functional Recovery and Resilience Group

About the Building FRRG

The effects of a disaster on the built environment often result in damage and disruption which inhibits the capacity of essential services and services such as housing, accommodation, education and health facilities.

The Building Functional Recovery and Resilience Group (FRRG) coordinates the efficient and effective information exchange, issues identification and resolution between government agencies, local government, building industry and insurance providers to ensure efficient and prioritised use of available resources in rebuilding dwellings following a disaster.

The FRRG functions and membership are currently under review with the establishment of new Terms of References to reflect the extended function to include resilience. The new functions and membership will be updated accordingly in the Queensland Recovery Plan through its upcoming review.
