2018-04-10 S&O Agenda - Attachment 1 to Item 4 - Local Disaster Recovery Subplan

       o   economic restoration; and
       o   environmental rehabilitation (including regeneration of the natural environment, and
           the management of pollution and contamination).

Relief is:
 Efforts to meet the immediate needs of persons affected by a disaster, to minimise further
   loss through the provision of immediate shelter and basic human needs.

Resilience is:
 A continuous process of learning from experience, reassessment and adaption. In the
   disaster management context, resilience can be considered as a system’s or community’s
   ability to rapidly accommodate and recovery from the impacts of hazards, restore essential
   structures and desired functionality, and adapt to new circumstances.

Further definitions are articulated in the Queensland Disaster Management Act, 2003.


1.4. Legislation
Disaster recovery in Queensland is undertaken in accordance with the Queensland Disaster
Management Act, 2003 (the Act), Queensland Disaster Management Regulation, 2014 and the
Queensland Reconstruction Authority Act, 2011.

Section 4(a) of the Act states that “local governments should primarily be responsible for
managing events in their local government area and (d) district groups and the State Group
should provide local governments with appropriate resources and support to help the local
governments carry out disaster operations.”


1.5. Maintenance of the Recovery Subplan
The Recovery Subplan is maintained by the Local Recovery Coordinator. It is to be reviewed
annually or after activation of recovery processes following an event to ensure it remains current
and relevant. Any proposed changes to the Subplan are to be provided to the Local Recovery
Coordinator, Noosa Shire Council for approval by the Noosa Local Disaster Management Group
(LDMG).
