DRFA Program of works 2026

2026 DRFA Works Program

Council has successfully secured funding under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) to restore roads damaged during the Queensland Monsoon Trough, Cyclone Koji, Cyclone Narelle and Sever Weather commencing 24 December 2025 – 24 April 2026 event. These disaster recovery projects are jointly funded by the Australian and Queensland governments under the DRFA to provide financial assistance for communities affected by disasters. In Queensland, the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA) administers the DRFA program, offering various relief measures depending on the severity of the disaster.

The 2026 DRFA program supports the restoration of essential public assets such as roads and other infrastructure. The total approved funding for this event amounts to approximately $64 million.

Scope of Work

The restoration work has been divided into eight packages, each covering different regions of the Shire (e.g., South East, North West, Seal, etc.). Packages are to be progressively released to the market over the next six months to suppliers currently listed on Council’s ROPS Panel for Road Construction and Maintenance.

Works are expected to commence by September 2026 and are scheduled for completion by 30 June 2028, in accordance with funding agreements.
