Community: Managed Relocation Advisory

The Resilient Homes Fund (RHF) was an initiative by the Queensland Government in response to the devastating floods of 2022. With a $512 million budget for voluntary home buy backs (VHBB), the remainder of the fund was administered for retrofitting or raising to improve the resilience of homes.

Climate Resilience provided integrated support for the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) for the VHBB criteria development, eligibility assessments, stakeholder engagement, and project governance. 

Over 6000 registrations of interest have been assessed against LGA and program criteria, with only around 10% proceeding for VHBB. The program has created international interest with New Zealand, Cambodia and Canada seeking briefings from the QRA.
