Events over the last four years have significantly challenged the Northern Rivers Economy. Drought, bushfires, a pandemic and the 2022 natural disaster have all impacted our business and industry community. In addition, the most recent natural disasters have caused significant damage to infrastructure across the region.
To support the recovery effort, RDA Northern Rivers has developed the Regional Economic Recovery Plan 2025 (RERP) for the Northern Rivers. In doing so we aim to provide a roadmap towards the economic recovery of our region.
The recovery from past and recent disasters will require a high level of investment from both government and private sector to rebuild and reconstruct the region’s built environment, infrastructure, main streets, environmental damage (e.g. caused by landslides) and more. With a focus on the 2022 floods, the report provides a picture of the financial burden and its impact on the region. Leading research has indicated that for every dollar of insurance paid out, a multiplier cost of at least ten can be calculated to provide a very sobering true cost to the community.
