Flooding Laidley 2013

Message from the Premier, the Treasurer and the Minister for Local Government, Community Recovery and Resilience

Ex-Tropical Cyclone Oswald and the flooding that followed

brought destruction to 57 Queensland local government

areas from January to March 2013. Many of these same

areas were just recovering from the unprecedented loss

and damage brought by the many natural disasters of

2010-2012.

It has been a tough time for many Queenslanders with lives lost and homes destroyed and yet our Queensland spirit remains strong in the face of this adversity.

We are rebuilding – and we will do so with stronger infrastructure this time around.

������������������� � �������������������� ����� �we can learn from the past and rebuild in a way that will minimise the damage and help communities bounce back quickly the next time nature strikes.

A new and enhanced portfolio was created within days of ����������������� �� ����������������������� �����������our resilience program.
