A snapshot of NRRC’s work includes
As a coordinating body, the NRRC is working with communities, councils, multiple government agencies and stakeholders to prioritise, sequence and enable the significant reconstruction and place-based adaptation effort across the region.
Figures released by the Insurance Council of Australia estimate the costs and scale of the damage to homes, business and infrastructure at more than $5.56 billion, the largest in Australian history. In response, the Australian and NSW Governments have committed more than $3.5 billion to support the recovery, repair and rebuilding of impacted communities. This includes the Australian and NSW Government’s $800 million Resilient Homes Fund. This is the largest resilience response of its kind in Australian history.
The NRRC is coordinating and prioritising:
- buy-back, raising or retrofit of over 6000 directly impacted residences
- building back $5.6 billion in public infrastructure damage
- including over 2500 individual public infrastructure projects across the region
- $280 million in major and minor land slip repairs
- $100 million in bridges, culverts, causeways repairs
- $170 million in road repairs.
