Resilience NSW was set up following the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires to lead a whole-of-government disaster and emergency effort, from prevention through to recovery.

There were numerous reports on Thursday the program would be scrapped and its Commissioner Shane Fitzsimmons stood down.

A spokesman at NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet's office declined to comment on the rumours and future of Resilience NSW and its commissioner, and instead issued a one-line statement.

"No decision has been made on the flood inquiry," he said.

The NSW Flood Inquiry is an independent inquiry into the catastrophic floods that occurred this year.

Independent MP for New England, Tony Windsor, took to social media and said "the farce is finished".

"All Resilience NSW did was provide protection for [Shane] Fitzsimmons and Gladys [Berejiklian] on inaction on fire policy. Job done move on," he posted.

The Fire Brigade Employees' Union praised the scrapping.

"We hope that this news means the NSW Government is finally going to start taking the role of professional firefighters and police seriously, and give our members the funding and equipment upgrades we've been requesting for years," they posted to social media.

Mr Fitzsimmons was previously the NSW Rural Fire Service commissioner, has received the Australian Fire Service Medal, and in 2020 was announced as NSW Australian of the Year.

He first joined the RFS as a 15-year-old volunteer firefighter at Duffys Forest bushfire brigade in Sydney's north. He then spent 35 years with the RFS.
