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.
4.1
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 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.

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, sewerage or complete phone coverage.
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 is also one
permanent QAS member stationed on the island currently at Tangalooma Resort and
approximately 8 rangers at any one time stationed at the National Parks and Wildlife
base at Ben-Ewa.
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 who reside on Moreton Island;
staff and patrons of Tangalooma Resort complex; and
QPWS staff.

HOW TO USE THIS SUB-PLAN DURING OPERATIONS
This sub-plan should be utilised 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.

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;

Availability of assembly areas;

Safety of emergency workers;

The potential numbers of evacuees involved; and

The requirement to provide temporary accommodation.

Chain of Command / Control of agencies on Moreton Island
Command and Control is event specific and the agency that takes the lead in an
event will differ depending on the type of event. The Brisbane LDMG and the LDCC
will typically play a supporting role in an event on Moreton Island.
The following table from the State Disaster Management Plan outlines the primary
agencies responsible for each specific hazard and the respective state and national
level plans, where appropriate.
For more details on command and control structures of the response agencies see
Section 7.3.1 in the State Disaster Management Plan.

Phase 4
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

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 promulgated
 Monitoring remaining residents

The reception and relocation phase is the disembarkation of evacuees at a safe

Operational Team 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 Disaster
Management Plan, specifically the Evacuation Sub-plan and standard operating
procedure. Council will establish and coordinate a Council Evacuation Centre 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
