                              Noosa Local Disaster Recovery Plan 2015/2016

   Local Disaster Recovery Committee (Core). Core members of the LDRC as defined
    in Appendix 27.6 are appointed by the Chair of the LDMG under this plan. Additional
    members will be identified and appointed to the Local Disaster Recovery Committee by
    the Chair of the Local Disaster Recovery Committee during the Lean Forward stage of
    recovery activation. Membership of the LDRC should be detailed in the Recovery
    Operational Plan.
   Sub-groups. Members of sub-groups will be drawn from the LDRC and additional
    members may be invited from relevant organisations at the discretion of the Chair of the
    sub-group in consultation with the LRC. Membership of sub-groups is to be recorded in
    the Recovery Operational Plan.

11.2 Meetings of the Local Disaster Recovery Committee and sub-
     groups
Once activated the LDRC and sub-groups should meet regularly to perform their functions.
Meetings of the LDRC shall be at times and in places as determined by the Chair of the
LDRC.

There shall be a meeting of the Noosa Local Disaster Recovery Committee chaired by the
Deputy Chair of the LDMG and key members of the sub-groups at least once but ideally
twice a year, once before the storm season and once after the season.

Sub-group meetings shall be at times and places as determined by the appointed
Coordinator of the Sub-group after consultation with the LRC.3

11.3 Records of meetings
The LDRC and each sub-group will keep minutes of all meetings. In addition the LDRC is to
develop and maintain the Recovery Plan and sub-groups are to develop and maintain action
plans relevant to their function. These will be the principle reference documents used by
the LDRC and the sub-groups in the performance and reporting of their functions.

11.4 Reporting
Regular reporting is required to ensure effective coordination and monitoring of progress and
use of resources.

Upon activation the LDRC for Noosa shall report regularly to the LDMG. The LRC will also
negotiate with the Sunshine Coast Disaster District and the State Recovery Coordinator to
establish their reporting requirements.

Reporting by the sub-groups to the LDRC shall be at the discretion of the LRC after
consultation with the LDRC and the Chairs of the sub-groups.

Report formats may be negotiated, however, the LDRC is to provide regular updates on the
Recovery Operational Plan to the Disaster District and SRG. Sub-groups are to provide
regular updates on their Action Plans to the LDRC. Reporting formats are to be primarily
based on these two documents. Additional information may be required by the District, the
State Recovery Coordinator or State Recovery Group.

11.5 Disaster District role
The local level is the entry point for recovery. While the Disaster District will usually stand
down from response operations when recovery operations begin or shortly thereafter, it is
expected that members of the District Disaster Management Group and other State
Government agencies will continue to provide State Government services to support
recovery efforts in the Noosa Shire.
