In the immediate hours following a disaster, City of Gold Coast will coordinate the recovery efforts for the city.
Restoring the city can take a long time. It's a team effort as we partner with a range of agencies and organisations to provide support to residents, communities and businesses affected by the disaster.
The long-term recovery program for our city and across Queensland is supported by the Queensland Reconstruction Authority.
The City’s Local Recovery Group consists of members including City staff, emergency service agencies, government and non-government organisations who work together to plan and coordinate recovery efforts for the city. This group works with a range of stakeholders to identify programs to assist short to long-term recovery focussing on human-social, economic, infrastructure and environmental recovery.
Planning for recovery starts during or immediately after a disaster. This includes providing short, medium and longer-term recovery responses. Our recovery plan is always delivered in response to the community’s needs.
After a disaster, we help the city to recover across the following areas – human and social (people), environment, infrastructure, economy and resilience.
