NSW Reconstruction Authority – our work

We’re here to support people who are recovering from, or at risk of, natural disasters.

About how we work

The NSW Reconstruction Authority is a state-wide organisation. We have a centralised team overseeing major projects, and far-reaching regional teams who are active in their communities across NSW.

The critical work and collective efforts of multiple teams provides important opportunities to learn from a broad range of experiences. We're then able to help communities prepare for future disasters and recover and more effectively rebuild.
