Essential Public Asset Restoration Development, Assessment and Coordination - RFT-10061731

The record-breaking NSW Severe Weather Storms and Flooding from 22 February 2022 onwards has had a catastrophic impact on communities across parts of New South Wales. The scale of public infrastructure required to rebuild in the Northern Rivers after the 2022 floods is significant.

The 7-flood affected LGAs of the Northern Rivers (Ballina, Byron, Lismore, Clarence Valley, Richmond Valley, Kyogle and Tweed) are currently working with the Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation (NRRC) and the relevant NSW State Government administering agencies in progressing Essential Public Asset Restoration (EPAR) submissions under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) to commence the restoration of public assets in the region.

There is approximately $3 billion in public infrastructure recovery work to be delivered and assessed under the NSW Disaster Assistance Framework. The NSW State Government requires additional capacity to support the development, assessment, and coordination of EPAR submissions to rebuild the Northern Rivers public infrastructure in a timely manner for positive community and economic recovery outcomes for the region.
