Department of Transport & Main Roads | The significance and scale of the reconstruction program cannot be overstated. The impact of 16 floods and cyclones on the state was enormous, with all local government areas disaster declared at some stage between 2010 and 2013. In some cases, this meant there was no opportunity to undertake damage assessment work or begin reconstruction required from one event before the next one caused additional devastation. To meet this challenge, the TNRP was established to coordinate program delivery with federal, other state and local government agencies, and industry. The TNRP was tasked with rebuilding more than 8700km of state-controlled roads – equivalent to restoring more than one-quarter of the statecontrolled road network in just four years. The distance of roads that have been reconstructed is equivalent to driving around the coast of Australia all the way from Broome in Western Australia to just past Townsville halfway up the Queensland coast.
