Disaster Recovery 2022 Floods
The rainfall and flooding in early 2022 caused extensive damage across Noosa Shire.
Reconstruction has been challenging given the extent of damage, the complexity of repair required at some sites, and the availability of resources. Work is now well underway, and Council is targeting to reconstruct 31 landslides, 15 water crossings/drainage plus other smaller works by the end of 2024.
The flood recovery effort for Noosa Council estimated to have a construction cost in excess of $100m, is jointly funded by the Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA), which is administered by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority. DRFA funding allows for the reinstatement of assets to the functional use existing prior to the disaster event.
While reconstruction is underway, Council asks residents to:
- Remain cautious on the roads and drive to conditions.
- Be aware of changed traffic conditions and do not enter areas that are signposted as closed.
- Understand that some repairs are temporary until a more permanent fix can be completed.
- Understand that some areas will have safety signs in place until permanent repairs can be completed.
We thank residents for their patience during these works.
