Deputy Police Commissioner Brett Pointing <\/figcaption><\/figure>January 31, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

Deputy Police Commissioner Brett Pointing will be appointed to lead the disaster recovery efforts and the rebuilding of Queensland in the wake of this week\u2019s devastating floods.<\/p>\n

Premier Campbell Newman said today that the damage to Queensland, in particular in Bundaberg and the Burnett, was extensive and a recovery taskforce headed by Mr Pointing would oversee the rebuilding process.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe floods we have seen throughout the state may have torn down the infrastructure of communities but it hasn\u2019t broken Queenslanders\u2019 spirit,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt will be a massive job rebuilding homes, businesses, roads, bridges and essential services and that\u2019s why I have appointed DC Pointing to lead the recovery process as a full time problem solver and strategic leader.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Newman said Mr Pointing\u2019s role would be to ensure Government and non-Government agencies at all levels were delivering a cohesive recovery and reconstruction program.<\/p>\n

\u201cDC Pointing will work with the community to ensure the recovery efforts are co-ordinated so people and businesses can get back on their feet and life can return to normal as soon as possible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a tough task, but with all levels of government and every member of the community working together and supporting each other, we will get through this.”<\/p>\n

Mr Pointing said he was honoured to take on this role which was both a great challenge and a great privilege.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to meeting with locals in affected areas to get a comprehensive understanding of their issues and to rapidly determine what needs to be done and in what order to rebuild the community as quickly as possible,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
