Following the flood events in the Northern Rivers region in March 2022, the NSW Government announced the Resilient Homes Program, a $700 million program to support homeowners in their recovery and to build resilience in the Northern Rivers community. The Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation (NRRC) developed and manages the Resilient Homes Program. This program assesses eligible homes in the Northern Rivers region impacted by the flood events, and then on the basis of this assessment will recommend that properties be bought back, raised or retrofitted. This assessment is designed to take into account the level of risk to that home. Differing levels of financial support are available from the NSW Government depending on the outcome of the assessment. 

This audit may consider whether NRRC has effectively implemented the Resilient Homes Program including whether it has achieved its goals and the consistency of assessments to determine the action undertaken with each home.
