The Authority was established under the Queensland Reconstrucon Authority Act 2011 following the unprecedented natural disasters which struck Queensland over the summer months of 2010‐11. The Authority is charged with managing and coordinang the Government’s program of infrastructure renewal and recovery within disaster‐affected communies, with a focus on working with our State and local government partners to deliver best pracce expenditure of public reconstrucon funds. Following the widespread damage caused by ex‐Tropical Cyclone Oswald in early 2013, the jurisdicon of the Authority was expanded by the Queensland Reconstrucon Authority Amendment Bill 2013 to cover this and other 2013 disaster events. The June report is provided as councils and state agencies push to complete their program of works from both the devastang floods and cyclone events of early 2011 and the series of events which impacted the state in the summer of 2011‐12. With the meframe for delivery of NDRRA eligible works for the majority of these events expiring at 30 June 2014, the Authority is acvely monitoring and assisng delivery agents to meet the pending deadline. At the same me, the Authority is assisng many affected councils with their connuing efforts to recover and undertake infrastructure damage assessments from the recent 2014 events, including Tropical Cyclone Ita. The Authority is overseeing a program of works for events spanning from 2009 through to Tropical Cyclone Ita in 2014 with a total esmated value of $13.84 billion. Given the breadth of me over which these events occurred, the relave stages of works across the program varies between damage assessment and submission preparaon for the most recent events of 2014; monitoring of works in delivery for the remaining works from the 2011, 2012 and 2013 events; and the close out and acquial of works which have reached compleon. As at 3 June 2014: an addional $464 million in submissions have been received by the Authority since last month an addional $119 million has been processed by the Authority since last month a cumulave value of $11.32 billion of the $13.84 billion works program (2009 to 2014) has been reported to the Authority as being in progress or delivered by delivery agents as at 30 April 2014. The June report also provides an update on the progress of a number of key reconstrucon projects, including the Brisbane Riverwalk Category D project and the Palm Island Seawall. Also included are updates on the construcon progress of three beerment projects ‐ Margate Seawall (Moreton Bay Regional Council), Gayndah Water Supply Intake Staon and Gayndah‐ Mundubbera Road (North Burne Regional Council). The June report also reports on the Authority’s iDARM tool, which is being used to assist local governments affected by the 2014 events capture damaged public infrastructure data, making the process of applying for NDRRA funds simpler and faster. I commend the report to you and recommend its release to the Minister and the public pursuant to Secon 41 of the Queensland Reconstrucon Authority Act 2011.

Between November 2010 and April 2011, extensive flooding caused by periods of extremely heavy rainfall, destrucon caused by a number of storm cells including Cyclones Tasha, Anthony and Severe Tropical Cyclone Yasi and subsequent monsoonal flooding, resulted in all of Queensland being declared as disaster affected. On 21 February 2011 in response to the 2011 disaster events, the Queensland Government established the Queensland Reconstrucon Authority (the Authority) under the Queensland Reconstrucon Act 2011. The Authority’s role was subsequently extended to cover historical and connuing disaster events in Queensland. The Authority has since been given responsibility to administer Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements (NDRRA) for the large scale natural disaster caused by Tropical Cyclone Oswald in late January 2013 and addional events which have occurred in the 2013 and 2014 disaster event periods. The Queensland Reconstrucon Authority Amendment Bill 2013 was passed on 14 February 2013 to expand the jurisdicon of the Authority to include the 2013 events. 1.2 Purpose The Authority’s mission is to reconnect, rebuild and improve Queensland communies and its economy. The Authority is charged with managing and coordinang the Government’s program of infrastructure renewal and recovery within disaster‐affected communies, with a focus on working with our State and local government partners to deliver best pracce expenditure of public reconstrucon funds. The Authority operates with reference to recovery and reconstrucon plans established by the State in response to the 2011 disaster events and more recently following Tropical Cyclone Oswald.
