Disaster recovery

Following the recent severe weather event, community organisations may require immediate support to make their facilities safe, clean-up, conduct minor repairs and return to operations.

To support this relief phase of disaster recovery, Council will provide a one-off $7,500 payment to not-for-profit community organisations who have been impacted.

To be eligible for the Community Clean-Up Payment, not-for-profit community organisations must:

1. Be operating from or located within a Brisbane City Council leased or licensed community facility;
2. Have been impacted by the recent severe weather event;
3. Have completed the ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred damage survey.

The ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred damage survey has been sent to Council’s community lessees on 10 March 2025.

To be considered for the $7,500 Community Clean-Up Payment, complete the survey when you have assessed your organisations site.

Ensure to record photographs of weather damage.

Once assessed, approved organisations will be contacted directly regarding payment.

For more information, you can contact Council’s Community Facilities Operations Team by phoning 07 3403 8888 or emailing Council.
