Case studies

Following flooding in February 2022, an important project to improve the health and flood resilience of a waterway running through Brisbane’s northern suburbs has moved into its next stage.

Local producers and native animals are reaping the benefits of work by the Gympie and District Landcare group to reclaim the banks of a flood-ravaged creek.

Queensland’s Department of Transport and Main Roads has repaired and strengthened an extensively flood-damaged section of road west of Childers to improve the region's resilience to future flood events.

Gympie’s recovery from the devastating floods of 2022 has scored a winner with a nation-leading turf project rejuvenating a popular sporting field.

Following damage caused by record rainfall events across southern Queensland in 2022, specialised training and abseiling equipment again proved their value in keeping Queensland’s roads open.

Property-specific flood management plans are helping primary producers tackle an age-old problem: protecting their property – their very livelihood – from the ravages of natural disasters.

Life for Keith Roxburgh and his partner Darcy looks very different today to what it did two years ago when their Morayfield was inundated by flooding that reached a height of 1.6 metres.

Specialised resilience officers are helping Queensland primary producers not only recover from recent natural disasters but build resilience for future events.

The clean break of a vital transport link in the Far North interior illustrated the reach and fury of ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper. Just as intense though was the work that went into repairing the damaged bridge and reconnecting communities.
