3. Recovery Arrangements
Successful disaster recovery requires clear and robust governance arrangements. Noosa’s
disaster recovery arrangements align with those articulated in the Act and enable a collaborative
approach that brings together all agencies, stakeholders and resources for planning and
coordinating delivery of recovery functions.




Queensland’s disaster recovery arrangements reflect the priority given to the impacted
community and the lead role of the Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) and the Local
Recovery Group (LRG).

The Noosa Local Disaster Management Group (LDMG) has responsibility for acting on behalf of
the community and leading recovery efforts in Noosa Shire. The LDMG will assess the need for
a coordinated, ongoing recovery operation during and/or at the conclusion of the Response
phase. This decision may be based on a range of factors taken into consideration including:
 Scale of the disaster
 Outstanding issues and impacts that require a coordinated multi-agency approach
 Community connectedness is significantly disrupted
 The community’s capability to recovery independently is overwhelmed
 Ability of communities to return to their properties in the long-term
 Reconstruction and/or other impacts such as contamination require a long-term recovery
    plan.

Once the LDMG determines that a planned and coordinated recovery from a disaster event is
required, a LRG is established by the LDMG and the decision is recorded and local recovery
