CHAPTER 9 – MORETON ISLAND SUB-PLAN (V2.1)

2.0 SCOPE

This plan provides a strategic overview of the process of coordinating and tasking agencies to facilitate the evacuation of persons at risk on Moreton Island and its shoreline waters to the mainland or other safe havens within the island communities of Moreton Bay.

This plan will focus on five phases of coordination and tasking which are:

1. Preliminary

2. Withdrawal

3. Extraction

4. Reception and relocation

5. Return

Moreton Island is susceptible to various risks. For this reason an all-hazards approach will be used.

This plan will not cover evacuation centre management. See Evacuation Plan and

SOP for further details.

This plan does not cover recovery planning.

2.1 Assumptions

Brisbane City Council is the lead agency for this plan with support from the

Redcliffe DDMG, Queensland Police Service, Queensland Parks and Wildlife

Service and other agencies as required.

Relocation is defined as the relocation of evacuees to designated areas within the geographical boundaries of Moreton Island and its shoreline waters due to a disaster event or predicted disaster event.

Extraction is defined as the extraction of evacuees from Moreton Island and its shoreline waters to the mainland or other island communities within Moreton Bay.

A disaster event will be as defined in the Disaster Management Act (Qld) 2003.

Evacuation may be required without a declaration of a Disaster Situation.

Evacuees may include local residents, campers, day tourists and resort staff and patrons found within the geographical boundaries of Moreton Islands and its shoreline waters.

The magnitude of, and methodology for, evacuation will be determined by the impact (or potential impact) of the event.

Queensland Police Service, supported by QPWS and SES staff, will provide the resources necessary to ensure the safe passage of evacuees from their location on the Island to the muster point for extraction.

2.2 Definitions

See evacuation plan for definitions relevant to evacuation.

CHAPTER 9 – MORETON ISLAND SUB-PLAN (V2.1)

3.0 MORETON ISLAND QUICK FACTS

Moreton Island is located in Moreton Bay approximately 40km from Brisbane.

Moreton Island is 37km long and 10km wide at its widest and is a wedge shaped island covering over 185 square kilometres.

It is the third largest sand island in the world and has no town services, sealed roads, electricity, town water or sewerage. Phone coverage is incomplete.

Over 98% of Moreton Island is designated National Park with a unique combination of flora and fauna. (See Moreton Island Map figure 1.)

There are 4 townships at Bulwer, Cowan Cowan, Tangalooma and Kooringal with the majority of people on the island living or staying at the Tangalooma Island Resort.

There is a permanent population of approximately 380 people. There are also approximately 8 rangers at any one time stationed at the National Parks and Wildlife base at Ben-Ewa, and one permanent QAS member currently stationed at

Tangalooma Resort.

Township numbers do increase during holiday and weekend periods by approximately 100 to 250.

There is no service station, doctor, dentist or school on the island.

There are a number of persons at risk during events, including:

visitors camping on the island with vehicles

visitors camping on the island without vehicles

residents of Moreton Island

staff and patrons of Tangalooma Resort complex

QPWS staff.

3.1 Cruise ships

P&O Cruises has a partnership with Tangalooma Island Resort. There are approximately 12 cruises a year from Sydney to Tangalooma Island Resort (as the sole stopover)

. The “Pacific Pearl” and “Pacific Jewel” rotate on this journey.

Each cruise ship has approximately 1968 passengers and 700 crew members on board. Passenger demographics vary depending on the date and time of year.

Generally, mid-week cruises have an older demographic and weekend cruises have a younger demographic.

Cruises arrive at 5.30am in the morning and passengers disembark from 7.30am onwards.

4.0 HOW TO USE THIS SUB-PLAN DURING OPERATIONS

This sub-plan should be used to guide the conduct of the evacuation and should be used in conjunction with the Evacuation Sub-plan and SOP. This plan has been developed as an operational guide with pre-determined strategies able to be adapted to the specific circumstances of the event.

This plan is broken into 5 phases as indicated in the diagram below. These 5 phases will determine the planning considerations when evacuation is deemed necessary.

CHAPTER 9 – MORETON ISLAND SUB-PLAN (V2.1)

6.0 EVACUATION PROCESS

Evacuation may be either immediate or pre-warned.

It may involve internal evacuation on the island or external evacuation from the island.

It may be voluntary or mandatory in nature.

Voluntary evacuation will normally involve persons self-evacuating, however, some transport assistance may be required for people with disabilities, the homeless, disadvantaged and aged members of the community who do not have access to appropriate transport.

Mandatory evacuation occurs when a police officer who is authorised by relevant legislation (either the Disaster Management Act 2003 or the Public

Safety Preservation Act 1986) makes a decision to execute specific powers under that legislation and orders people to evacuate a designated area.

The decision to evacuate should take into account the following factors:

A vulnerability analysis which considers whether, for the hazard and conditions, sheltering in place may be preferable.

The potential for risk to evacuees during movement from the islands.

Available lead time.

The ability to effectively warn affected people.

The time and resources (transport and people) to carry out the evacuation.

Access and egress to/from the islands.

The availability of assembly areas.

The safety of emergency workers.

The potential numbers of evacuees involved.

The requirement to provide temporary accommodation.

Figure 3: Stages of Evacuation - Preliminary

The preliminary phase outlines the warning, set up and pre-position of response agencies.

Authority

The Brisbane Local Disaster Coordinator (LDC – CEO Brisbane City Council) is the

Authority for this procedure.

CHAPTER 9 – MORETON ISLAND SUB-PLAN (V2.1)

8.0 WITHDRAWAL

Figure 4: Stages of Evacuation – Phase 1: Withdrawal

Phase 1 of the operation is the withdrawal phase. During this phase priority is on the safe relocation of evacuees under the control of Queensland Police Service (QPS) from their location on the island to the mustering points, coordinated by Council.

Following this, evacuees will be moved to the departure area, coordinated by

Council, on Moreton Island, with support from QPS for processing by Red Cross,

QPS and Tangalooma Management as required.

In the interest of expedience, processing may be conducted in Phase 2 (during transit), Phase 3 (on arrival to safe location) or Phase 4 (upon registration into a

Council evacuation centre).

Key tasks for agencies during the withdrawal phase are:

Resources are on site and in place

Embarkation points are activated and managed

Evacuation centres are established

Media releases are sent out

Registration process begins

Evacuees are relocated

Page 13 of 17

BRISBANE CITY COUNCIL LOCAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

CHAPTER 9 – MORETON ISLAND SUB-PLAN (V2.1)

9.0 EXTRACTION

Figure 5: Stages of Evacuation - Phase 2: Extraction

The extraction phase is the transit to a safe location (most likely by sea by commercial provider) which is coordinated by Council with agency support.

Means of transit are to be staffed by Council, QPS and Red Cross/DCCSDS Officers as practical. Processing of evacuees may be undertaken in this phase in the interest of expedience and efficiency .

Key tasks for agencies during the extraction phase are:

Transport resources are used to move evacuees

Evacuees are transited to disembarkation point(s) and then on to established evacuation centres

Media releases are promulgated

Remaining residents are monitored

Campers are rotated to alternate campsites if safe to do so

If the most appropriate option is to move residents and tourists/campers to alternate locations on the island, the Manager Disaster Management Office will work in consultation with QPWS and other relevant agencies to make a decision on where evacuees will be relocated.

In bushfire events evacuees may be required to temporarily shelter in place. In a fire event at Moreton island the safest location is the beach until the threat passes.

BRISBANE CITY COUNCIL LOCAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

CHAPTER 9 – MORETON ISLAND SUB-PLAN (V2.1)

10.0 RECEPTION & RELOCATION

Figure 6: Stages of Evacuation - Phase 3: Reception & Relocation

The reception and relocation phase is the disembarkation of evacuees at a safe haven and relocation to an evacuation centre. Council’s Emergency Human Services

Operational Team (EHSOT) will provide coordination of disembarkation with support from QPS and other agencies as required. Council’s BT is to provide a transportation solution with other agencies as required from the disembarkation point to the evacuation centre/s. Processing of evacuees may occur in this phase in the interest of expedience of evacuation from the threat.

Relocation of evacuees is in accordance with Brisbane City Council ’s Local Disaster

Management Plan, specifically the Evacuation Sub-plan and standard operating procedure. Council will establish and coordinate a council evacuation centre or centres with support from relevant agencies.

Key tasks for agencies during the reception and relocation phase are:

Transport and traffic management strategies are in place

Bump in process for evacuation centres is established

Evacuees arrive at evacuation centres

Evacuation centres are staffed and managed

Continued media messaging

Continued registration of evacuees
