Queensland Premier David Crisafulli has unveiled a plan aimed at bolstering disaster resilience for critical state infrastructure following a near-miss incident involving a Brisbane electrical substation during ex-tropical cyclone Alfred.

The storm resulted in unprecedented power outages, impacting half a million properties in south-east Queensland, making it the worst power outage in the state's history.

In addition to widespread power outages, hundreds of thousands of residents lost access to the NBN, phone reception suffered in large areas, and water quality at treatment plants was compromised due to power loss.

Fortunately, the quick response from staff at RoadTek, Energex, the SES, and local councils helped avert a crisis at the Nudgee substation by constructing temporary sandbag levees to divert floodwaters.

Crisafulli stressed the importance of investing in resilient infrastructure, including schools, health systems, and power supplies, to better withstand future natural disasters.

Amid rising tensions over GST revenue allocations, Crisafulli has appealed to the federal government for funding to support state disaster resilience projects.

Queensland is facing a significant $1.2 billion reduction in its GST share, a situation Crisafulli argues unfairly penalizes the state for the mismanagement of other states.

In response, Federal Treasurer Jim Chalmers highlighted the independent nature of the Grants Commission process and pointed out Queensland's financial benefits from coal royalties and federal funding for infrastructure upgrades.
