QFF has delivered relief and recovery projects for severe natural disasters including Cyclones Larry (2006) and Yasi (2011), the 2011 Queensland floods, flooding associated with Cyclone Oswald (2013), Cyclone Marcia (2015), Cyclone Debbie (2017).
QFF is currently managing the ‘North & Far North Queensland Monsoon Trough Agricultural Recovery and Resilience Project’ and the ‘Flood Mapping, Mitigation and Management Plans for Primary Producers Project’.
Our role in these events has been to manage the industry recovery program, ensuring landholders can access the information, advice and technical support needed to ensure they a full recovery. Importantly, QFF has increased the focus on resilience planning coupled with the recovery process to ensure, where possible, the landholders ‘build back better’.
