Resilient Homes Fund

Support for flood affected families

If you live in Gladstone Local Government Area and your home was affected by flooding you may be eligible for a grant to help make your property more flood resilient.

Funding options

There are three funding options available. The one that is most suitable for you will depend on your home and your personal circumstances.

1. Resilient Retrofit Program
   
   • Incorporate flood resilient design and materials in liveable rooms or areas
   • Raise or relocate services essential to the continued liveability of the home
   • You can apply for funding for up to $50,000
   • If the cost exceeds $50,000 you will need to contribute on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
2. Home Raising Program
   
   • Raise your habitable floors to meet or exceed the required assessed flood level, as prescribed by the relevant local government planning scheme
   • Move your home on the same parcel of land (to higher ground)
   • You can apply for funding of up to $100,000
   • If the cost of the works is estimated to exceed $100,000 you will be required to co-contribute on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
