Local Disaster Management Plan

Under the provisions of the Disaster Management Act 2003, Burdekin Shire Council must prepare a Local Disaster Management Plan (LDMP) to address the disaster management needs of the Shire. The Burdekin Shire LDMP ensures that:

1. community risks related to events are effectively managed;
2. risks requiring district level support are identified and communicated to the district level;
3. the local government and local groups comply with their disaster management obligations under the Disaster Management Act 2003 and other obligations related to disaster management that the local government determines.

The plan aims to achieve prevention, preparedness, response and recovery objectives in accordance with the values of the disaster management strategic framework:

• Protecting health, safety, quality of life and economic vitality
• Building and maintaining partnerships and collaboration across all levels of government, community and industry, in all aspects of disaster management
• Protecting our natural and built environment
• Respecting the diversity of Queensland communities
• Ensuring accountability and transparency of the Queensland disaster management arrangements
