It encompasses arrangements for: • emergencies controlled by combat agencies; • emergencies controlled by combat agencies and supported by the Local Emergency Operations Controller (LEOCON); • emergency operations for which there is no combat agency; and • circumstances where a combat agency has passed control to the LEOCON. Objectives The objectives of this plan are to: • define participating organisation and Functional Area roles and responsibilities in preparation for, response to and recovery from emergencies; • set out the control, co-ordination and liaison arrangements at the Local level; • detail activation and alerting arrangements for involved agencies; and • detail arrangements for the acquisition and co-ordination of resources. Scope The plan describes the arrangements at the Local level to prevent, prepare for, respond to and recover from emergencies and also provides policy direction for the preparation of Sub Plans and Supporting Plans: • Arrangements detailed in this plan are based on the assumption that the resources upon which the plan relies are available when required; and • The effectiveness of arrangements detailed in this plan are dependent upon all involved agencies preparing, testing and maintaining appropriate internal instructions, and/or standing operating procedures. Page 4 of 49 Printed 12/01/2018 9:17 AM MidCoast Council Local Emergency Management Plan Principles The following principles are applied in this plan: a) The Emergency Risk Management (ERM) process is to be used as the basis for emergency planning in New South Wales. This methodical approach to the planning process is to be applied by Emergency Management Committees at all levels. b) Responsibility for preparation, response and recovery rests initially at the Local level. If Local agencies and available resources are not sufficient they are augmented by those at the Regional level. c) Control of emergency response and recovery operations is conducted at the lowest effective level. d) Agencies may deploy their own resources from their own service from outside the affected Local area or Region if they are needed. e) The Local Emergency Operations Controller (LEOCON) is responsible, when requested by a combat agency, to co-ordinate the provision of resources support. LEOCONs would not normally assume control from a combat agency unless the situation can no longer be contained. Where necessary, this should only be done after consultation with the Regional Emergency Operations Controller (REOCON) and with the agreement of the combat agency and the appropriate level of control exercised.. f) Emergency preparation, response and recovery operations should be conducted with all agencies carrying out their normal functions wherever possible. g) Prevention measures remain the responsibility of authorities/agencies charged by statute with the responsibility. Test and Review Process The MidCoast Council Local Emergency Management Committee (LEMC) will review this Plan every three (3) years, or following any: • activation of the Plan in response to an emergency; • legislative changes affecting the Plan; and • exercises conducted to test all or part of the Plan. Page 5 of 49 Printed 12/01/2018 9:17 AM MidCoast Council Local Emergency Management Plan Part 2 – Community Context Annexure A – Community Profile General The area covered by the Emergency Management Plan is referred to as the MidCoast Council Local Government Area (LGA). The MidCoast Council area is located on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, about 320 kilometres north of the Sydney CBD and 170 kilometres north of the Newcastle CBD. The MidCoast LGA is an area of 10,060 square kilometres and has a population of 91,647 The MidCoast Council area is bounded by Port Macquarie Hastings Council in the north, the Tasman Sea in the east, Port Stephens Council in the south and Dungog and Upper Hunter Shire Councils in the west, and Walcha Shire Council to the north west. Settlement is based around the larger townships of Forster, Tuncurry, Taree, Wingham and Gloucester with many small villages and localities located both along the coast and inland. Landform and Topography The MidCoast Council area is predominantly rural, with expanding urban areas and some industrial and commercial land uses. The Council area encompasses a total land area of 10,060 square kilometres, of which a significant proportion is National Park, State Forest, and Nature Reserves. The area includes beaches, coastlines, forested areas, lakes and mountains. Non-urban land in the north is mainly rural, while the south is mainly National Parks and State Forests. The main industries are health care and social assistance (aged), retail trade, construction, tourism, timber production, oyster farming, fishing and grazing. Major features of the Council area include The Barrington Tops National Park, Booti Booti National Park, Ghin-Doo-Ee National Park, Myall Lakes National Park, Wallingat National Park, Crowdy Bay National Park, Myall Lakes, Smiths Lake, Wallis Lake, The Manning River several state forests and a number of beaches. The Council area is served by the Pacific Highway, The Bucketts Way, The Lakes Way, North Coast Railway and Taree Regional Airport. MidCoast Council is responsible for 3,412km of roads and 448 bridges. Climate The MidCoast Council area has a warm to hot climate with wet and humid summers, and mild drier winters mostly on the coast. Further inland, Barrington Tops is a World Heritage Listed wilderness area and has an alpine climate that regularly receives winter snow fall. There is an annual average rainfall of up to 1,315mm at the Chichester Dam site, some 38km's from the inland town of Gloucester. In coastal centres such as Forster and Page 6 of 49 Printed 12/01/2018 9:17 AM MidCoast Council Local Emergency Management Plan Tuncurry marginally less annual rainfall is experienced i.e. 1,226mm per annum; data has been collected since 1896.
