About Queensland Reconstruction Authority

The Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) is Australia’s only permanent agency dedicated to disaster recovery and reconstruction. QRA was established under the Queensland Reconstruction Authority Act 2011 (the Act) following unprecedented natural disasters that struck Queensland over the summer months of 2010-11. QRA manages and coordinates the Queensland Government’s program of infrastructure renewal and recovery within disaster‐affected communities, with a focus on working with our state and local government partners to deliver best practice expenditure of public reconstruction funds. In line with QRA’s vision to build a more disaster resilient Queensland, QRA is the state’s lead agency responsible for disaster recovery and resilience policy. In this role, QRA works collaboratively with other agencies and key stakeholders to improve risk reduction and disaster preparedness. The QRA contributes to the Queensland Government’s objectives for the community – creating jobs and a diverse economy, protecting the environment and building safe, caring and connected communities by: *Administering funding under Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) and assisting local governments to achieve value for money outcomes in their reconstruction programs *Providing advice and support to local governments to build resilience into their disaster preparedness and reconstruction programs *Coordinating disaster recovery activities that help communities recover from disasters and build their resilience to future events
