Resilience NSW

The agency was headed by Shane Fitzsimmons, who was previously the Commissioner of the New South Wales Rural Fire Service.[3] The Office of Emergency Management, an office within the Department of Communities and Justice was replaced by Resilience NSW on 1 May 2020 with the Administrative Arrangements (Administrative Changes—Resilience NSW) Order 2020 issued.Within this order Resilience NSW was established as a Public Service Executive Agency related to the Department of Premier and Cabinet[4] with the following responsible ministers; On 1 April 2022 by the Administrative Arrangements (Second Perrottet Ministry—Transitional) Order 2021, Resilience NSW was transferred back to the Department of Communities and Justice under the Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience.Following an inquiry into the response to the 2022 New South Wales floods, Resilience NSW was argued by the NSW State Government to be bureaucratic and ineffective, with the agency be dissolved,[5] although noting that this claim of ineffectiveness is misaligned with feedback from first responders (e.g. in the SES, the RFS, and Local Area Commands).[6] It has been replaced by the NSW Reconstruction Authority after legislation passed in November that year.
