3.1.4     Local Recovery Coordinator

The Local Recovery Coordinator (LRC) is appointed as a function within the LDMG to ensure
recovery preparedness and to lead recovery operations. The person appointed as the LRC
cannot be the same person as the LDC or the LDCC Community Liaison Officer as disaster
operations and recovery planning need to occur simultaneously.

The Noosa Council has appointed the Director Community Services to be the Noosa Local
Recovery Coordinator.

The role of the LRC is to:
 Maintain this Subplan
 Develop community recovery preparedness
 Ensure ongoing analysis of need is undertaken throughout the recovery effort to guide the
   recovery effort
 Work with the LRG, relevant agencies and the community to develop the specific aim,
   objectives and strategies of the Recovery Operational Plan
 Liaise with functional lead agency representatives to obtain required support for recovery
   programs and activities
 Manage the implementation of the Recovery Operational Plan and subgroup Action Plans
   with the assistance of the LRG, subgroups, Sunshine Coast District Recovery Group and
   State Recovery Group
 report on the recovery effort to the Disaster District, and the State Recovery Coordinator as
   well as the community

The LRC and the LDC should liaise regularly during disaster response operations. This will
ensure that disaster response operations support the recovery effort and recovery planners have
good situational awareness to ensure their planning is relevant to the community.

The LRC should be involved in disaster response planning and implementation in addition to the
role of leading the recovery effort. This duality of roles immediately after disaster impact is often
inevitable given the limited management resources available within the Noosa Council. While
the LRC may need to be involved in operational response matters from time to time, they should
focus on the recovery implications of such matters to ensure response supports the recovery
effort.

3.1.5     Functional subgroups

Up to four subgroups may be established to address each of the four functions of recovery in
Noosa Shire:

     Human and Social Subgroup
     Infrastructure Subgroup
     Economic Subgroup
     Environment Subgroup

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