                            Noosa Local Disaster Recovery Plan 2015/2016

Other specific rural issues include:
   length of time needed to restore livelihoods in rural areas may be extended
   there may be a difference between commercial and hobby farmers
   impact on livestock by loss of fodder and pasture and the consideration to sell, agist or
    cull livestock may be foremost in farmers’ minds
   biosecurity can be compromised by damage to fences or movement of soil or water

24.5 Residential infrastructure
Residential losses can occur in the following categories:
   houses, home units, apartments, flats, sheds, mining camps
   nursing homes, hostels, aged care facilities
   boarding houses, hotels, motels, caravan parks
   residencies in commercial buildings and businesses

24.6 Commercial and industrial infrastructure
Much of the economic activity in a community is driven by the commercial and social
networks that depend on the built environment. Demand on most commercial facilities
increases during the recovery period but the capacity to supply need is often hampered by
the damage to the built environment.

Damage or disruption to commercial facilities and infrastructure may inhibit the community’s
access to the services and support provided by:
   transport
   banking and finance; for example, cash accessed by automatic teller machines
   employment
   hospitals and emergency facilities
   tourism
   supply chains, such as for food (supermarkets, warehousing and transportation offices),
    fuel, hardware and building supplies, chemists and suppliers of other controlled
    substances
Adverse effects of damage to commercial facilities can include:
   contaminated debris; for example, hazardous waste (asbestos)
   health hazards; for example, biochemical, animals, food

24.7 Public buildings and asset infrastructure
For a community to function or to be viable, it requires operational public buildings and
assets, including:
   community/neighbourhood centres
   schools
   kindergartens
   places of spiritual worship
   sporting clubs
   cultural centres
   entertainment venues
   restaurants and cafes
