Building a Safer Future: The Resilient Lands Program

In the Northern Rivers, the need for safer, more resilient housing has never been more important. Natural disasters like floods have wreaked havoc on communities, leaving many residents vulnerable. The Resilient Lands Program aims to change that by identifying and unlocking land for disaster-resilient homes.
What is the Resilient Lands Program?
With a budget of $100 million, the Resilient Lands Program is designed to create safer spaces for people to live in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. The program focuses on finding land that is less prone to natural disasters, ensuring that new homes built in these areas are more secure.
Part of a Bigger Plan
The Resilient Lands Program is just one piece of the puzzle. It's being delivered alongside the $790 million Resilient Homes Program. Together, these initiatives aim to speed up the process of providing flood-affected residents with more housing options and improve the overall resilience of the community to future disasters.
1,000 New Homes in Grafton
One of the most exciting developments under the Resilient Lands Program is the release of land in the Grafton area. This will help fast-track the building of up to 1,000 disaster-resilient homes, giving families the opportunity to rebuild in safer locations and helping the region recover more quickly from the devastating impacts of flooding.

Why Does It Matter?
For families affected by natural disasters, the Resilient Lands Program offers a lifeline. By providing safer housing options in flood-resilient areas, the program not only supports recovery efforts but also helps communities prepare for future challenges.
As these programs continue to roll out, they offer a glimmer of hope for a brighter, more secure future for the Northern Rivers community.
Looking Forward
The combined efforts of the Resilient Lands and Resilient Homes programs are paving the way for safer and stronger Northern Rivers, offering residents both peace of mind and the freedom to choose where they want to live.
