The plan details how occupants will act in the event of a flood event, cutting access to the township of Kin Kin and surrounding towns. Responsibility for implementing the plan rests with the owner of the site and/or any caretaker charged with management of the short term accommodation use. Review This plan should be reviewed at least annually, or after a significant event has impacted the site. Flooding Although the location of the short term accommodation is not subject to flooding risk, the road from Kin Kin to the site is subject to flooding as shown on the Council flood mapping below.

Hazards State legislation the Disaster Management Act 2003, sets out the functions of local government, states that Council must have a local disaster management plan, and requires the local government to appoint a Local Disaster Coordinator. The local Disaster Management Plan sets out the stages and levels of activation for the local disaster management group. These will be used as the basis for action to ensure the safety of users on the site. Typical of all catchments in the area where the upstream catchment is relatively small, it is considered the provision of suitable flood refuge onsite within the buildings would be the preferred risk management measure, as opposed to evacuating the area to a formal evacuation centre. The application of a flood refuge is recommended in similar circumstances as means to address flood risk and potential burden by Gold Coast City Council (GCCC), who have large amount of flood plain on which developments are managed. The Guideline developed by GCCC states “a shelter-in-place approach” provides an opportunity to address the risks of isolation and subsequent risk to life and potential burden to emergency services. Shelter-in-place Shelter-in-place is defined as finding a safe location indoors, seeking immediate shelter and staying there during a flood emergency event until the threat is removed, rather than evacuating the area to an alternative safe refuge.
