Summary
A ‘Declared’ natural disaster is a natural event (or a combination of natural events) where the level of event-caused damage and distress leads the State Government to offer financial assistance to those affected by the event.
This section sets out arrangements for natural disaster assistance administered by Roads and Maritime Services (replacing Roads and Traffic Authority) on State, Regional, Local and Crown Roads.
For a list of current Natural Disaster Declarations refer to: http://www.emergency.nsw.gov.au/content.php/468.htmlInformation on the schemes is available under the NSW Natural Disaster Relief Arrangements:

Other State Government agencies have similar arrangements for other assets managed by councils. For information regarding Department of Commerce position - http://publicworks.nsw.gov.au/environment-sustainability/natural-disaster-relief-recovery
The Federal Government provides financial assistance to the State, in certain circumstances, to help repair damage attributable to declared natural disasters. See Attorney-General's Department information - About the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Arrangements.
