At the local level Noosa Council is responsible for the maintenance of public health in liaison
with Queensland Public Health’s Sunshine Coast Public Health Unit.
In July 2012 a Health Sub Committee was formed as part of the Sunshine Coast District
Disaster Management Group.
The Health Services Sub Committee identified the need to establish a Health Sub Plan,
which provides clearly defined points of contact and outlines strategic management for
all aspects of relevant health care impacting the Gympie, Noosa and Sunshine Coast
communities in the event of a disaster. This sub plan was adopted in September 2013
and updated in September 2014. Refer Appendix B7.
