                                    Noosa Local Disaster Recovery Plan 2015/2016

The four State Government Functional Lead Agencies for recovery are represented at the
Disaster District level and will coordinate the provision of State recovery resources within the
District to the affected area. These services should be coordinated through the LDRC using
agreed service delivery arrangements.

Disaster District members will often be asked to contribute to the recovery effort through
participation on the Local Disaster Recovery Committee or its sub-groups as appropriate.4
Furthermore ongoing liaison with the Disaster District Coordinator (DDC) and the District
Disaster Coordinator’s Executive Officer on recovery matters is necessary to ensure support
from the State through the Disaster District is relevant and coordinated. Reporting on the
recovery effort should be provided to the district to assist in coordination and district level
planning. The concept of recovery information and resources flow in Queensland is
depicted in Figure 4.

11.6 Functional lead agencies (state level)
Under the State Disaster Management Plan, key state government departments are defined
as functional lead agencies for the four functions of recovery. These functional lead
agencies are appointed to assist in the coordination of State level support to the local
recovery effort. The state functional lead agencies for recovery are detailed in Table 1.

 State agencies do not require approval or permission from the DDC to assist or sit on the Local
Recovery Committee Sub Groups. State Agencies are involved in the Local Recovery Committee as
part of their normal business. The Local Recovery Coordinator can approach any State Agency for
assistance.
