FLASHBACK: Local Government Minister David Crisafulli visited the South Burnett on January 30 to personally inspect flood damage, along with Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

March 5, 2013<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Burnett Mayor Wayne Kratzmann and Deputy Mayor Keith Campbell went to Brisbane today to lobby Local Government Minister David Crisafulli to extend the period for emergency flood funding.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Regional Council is concerned it could soon run out of the emergency funding it has been granted to pay for repairs to the region’s flood-damaged roads.<\/p>\n

Under current disaster recovery arrangements, all the council’s outlays for repairs since the Australia Day flood have been covered by the QRAA (formerly known as the Queensland Rural Adjustment Authority).<\/p>\n

However the QRAA funding window only lasts for 60 days after a flood event, and the “open chequebook” is due to close towards the end of the month.<\/p>\n

After this time, a council either has to pay for flood repairs out of its own funds and hope that money to cover its outlays will later come from the State and Federal governments; or cease flood repair works until such funding does become available.<\/p>\n

After the 2011 floods, the SBRC chose to wait when it faced a repair bill of $25.9 million – an amount equal to more than half its annual budget.<\/p>\n

It then took almost a year for money to arrive.<\/p>\n

The council believes the State Government should now extend the 60-day emergency funding window – or restart it – following more damage sustained in the region during the February 25 and March 2 downpours.<\/p>\n

This would allow the SBRC to ensure vital road repairs can continue to be carried out without affecting its other services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
