                          Noosa Local Disaster Recovery Plan 2015/2016

10.5 Sub-groups
Up to four sub-groups may be established to address each of the four pillars of recovery in
the Noosa Shire.

These sub-groups are:
   human/social sub-group
   infrastructure sub-group
   economic sub-group
   environment sub-group
Generic terms of reference for each sub-group are provided at Appendix 27.7. These may
be modified to suit the situation by the LRC after consultation with the LDRC.

Sub-groups are “working groups” of the LDRC and comprise the subject matter specialists
relevant to a particular pillar of recovery. They develop and oversee the implementation of
the plans, activities and programs related to their recovery function.

The formation of sub-groups is at the discretion of the LDRC based on the community
recovery needs analysis. The LDRC may decide to merge two or more sub-groups together
for greater effectiveness or efficiencies.

Membership of the sub-groups shall comprise LDRC Core members augmented by State
and Australian Government agency representatives, industry bodies and community groups
as required and depending upon the scale of the event and recovery operations required.
Membership of each group is dependent on the situation however a suggested membership
for each sub-group is provided in the sub-group’s terms of reference.

10.6 Local advisory groups
Local advisory groups may be established to enable members of the local community,
including people affected by the event and representatives from local organisations, to meet
and to provide input and guidance to LDRC and Sub-groups on such issues as community
needs and service delivery. The formation and composition of any Local Advisory Groups is
at the discretion of the LDRC and is dependent on the needs of the community. A guide to
possible local advisory groups that may be established is shown in Appendix 27.8.

10.7 Supporting agencies
Many agencies and organisations contribute in some way to recovery efforts. To assist in
the formation of the LDRC, sub-groups and Local Advisory Groups, a list of agencies and
community organisations that may assist in recovery is provided at Appendix 27.9. This list
identifies the functions these organisations may offer to support recovery operations.
