SERVICES & ORGANISATION COMMITTEE MEETING AGENDA                                               12 JULY 2016


Next Steps

The appointment of a designated officer from 1 July 2016, with responsibility for supporting the
development and improvement of Council’s disaster management capability, provides an
opportunity to drive this initiative forward and to see the Local Disaster Management Group operate
more effectively.

Council will also continue to work closely with the District Disaster Management Group Chair and
Executive Officer to ensure a collaborative approach to achieving the six shared responsibilities.

Further reports on planned activities and progress in meeting the Assurance Framework principles
will be presented over the course of the 2016/17 financial year.
