To facilitate a coordinated approach to community recovery, the Cairns Local Disaster Committee recently stood up four recovery subcommittees covering economic, environment, human and social and infrastructure.
Prof Allan Dale had been asked to sit on the Economic Recovery Sub-Committee (ERS-C) which focuses on the task of restoring tourism and economic activity to normal levels. Cairns Regional Council’s Rhonda Coghlan, chair of the Recovery Committee, stated, “We know that the tourism and hospitality industry employs about one in five people in the region’s workforce, and we have businesses who have not traded since mid-December.
But it’s not just about tourism. The aim of the Economic Recovery Sub-Committee is to develop an economic recovery plan to ensure all of our business sectors are supported and can bounce back from the impacts of Tropical Cyclone Jasper.”
The first meeting of the ERSC was held on the 4th January.
