Today the Federal Government has announced it will not be proceeding with proposed changes to disaster recovery funding arrangements.
I would like to thank the Prime Minister for listening to our concerns and arriving at a commonsense decision.
We now wait to see further details, and ensure this is delivered and funding arrangements are maintained in full, so Queenslanders can have certainty and confidence in their hour of need during disaster season.
We stood alongside mayors, the Local Government Association of Queensland and councils across the state and went in to fight for Queenslanders because it was the right thing to do.
Today’s decision diverts disaster for the most disaster-prone State.
We look forward to strengthening our preparedness and response ahead of disaster season, in the knowledge that there will be no changes to a formula that has worked for decades.
ENDS
