An active monsoon season and slow-moving low-pressure systems produced exceptionally heavy rain across the north Queensland from late December 2022 to March 2023. Severe thunderstorms and intense, persistent rainfall led to significant impacts across many Queensland communities. Disaster assistance was activated through the joint State and Commonwealth Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) to address the immediate and long-term impacts.
Work will commence in July/July and expected to take around six months to complete.
