6.4    Establishment of a local recovery committee
The Local Disaster Recovery Sub Committee (LDRC) is a standing committee of the Local
Group and is chaired by the Deputy Chair of the Local Group, unless otherwise determined
by the Local Group.
The LDRC maintains a permanent core membership to lead individual sub groups when they
are established. The core group will be augmented by additional members representing
State and Australian Governments and the community when recovery is activated.
If during an event the Noosa Local Group determines that an event is of such a scale and
impact to significantly disrupt community life it will activate its recovery committee.
Depending on the scale of the event and the complexity of the recovery effort, the LDRC
may comprise of up to four separate sub groups to address each of the four pillars of
recovery.
The number of sub groups, their terms of reference and their membership will be dependent
on the needs of the community and the scale of the recovery effort.
Community Advisory Groups may also be formed to ensure community participation in the
recovery process, and to assist the LDRC and sub groups in determining community need
and service delivery of recovery programs and activities.

6.5    Local Recovery Coordinator
The operations of the Recovery Committee are managed by a Local Recovery Coordinator
(LRC) who is appointed by the Chair of the LDRC in consultation with the Chair of the
LDMG.

the role and under legislation cannot be the same person appointed as the LDC.
The role of the LRC is to:
   develop community recovery preparedness

    specific events
