Last updated: 15 July 2024

This guideline has been developed to assist local governments and communities:

1. empowers the community
2. is a dynamic working document
3. reflects the individuality of the community.
manage the recovery process once it has commenced.

To support and guide local governments plan for and manage local recovery, a number of resources are provided:

Local Recovery Plan template
Local Operational Recovery Plan template
Local Recovery Coordinator Profile and Checklist
Local Recovery Coordination Group Profile and Checklist

As of 15 July 2024, the local recovery planning resources were redesigned to increase accessibility of the documents. Please note the State Recovery Team initiated a comprehensive review process in 2024 to further review this guideline as more substantial amendments were required to meet the current recovery needs. Local governments do not need to amend their current plans to match these documents.
