    Chapter Twelve Conclusions and the future With the formal role of the Taskforce concluding at the end of September 2003 it is critical that recovery activities are progressively integrated into the normal business of the ACT Government and community. A I3ushfire Recovery Executive, including senior representatives from across the ACT Government and the Chair of the Community and Expert Reference Group, will continue to maintain momentum and responsiveness on recovery issues. As part of this work, the Executive will continue to review lessons learnt during 2003, and to ensure opportunities for improvement are recognised and addressed. Recovering from an event such as the January 2003 fires in the ACT is a complex process which involves many phases. While for some the memory of the fires is now distant, for many others (including Government), there is still much to be done. Experience from other disasters suggests that the recovery process will go on for many years, and there will be a need for ongoing rebuilding and restoration, as well as services and support for those directly affected. PLANNING FOR THE NEXT PHASES OF THE RECOVERY Review of the Taskforce When the special arrangements were announced in January 2003, the Government put the Taskforce and Reference Group in place for an initial period of six months. This was in recognition that there was much to do, and understanding that after six months, there would be much better information about the next set of challenges, issues and activities. In June 2003, the Taskforce undertook a review to identify what the key issues were for the future, and to provide advice to Government regarding the next phases.
