(a) There is no requirement under the
State Records Act 2000
for the Minister for Local Government to be provided with this information.
The Minister for Culture and the Arts has responsibility for administering the State Records Act. The requirement for local government to have disaster management plans arises from the State Records Commission Standard 2, established under section 61 of the State Records Act. The Act gives responsibility for approving and monitoring these plans to the State Records Commission.
(b) The Department of Local Government does not have copies of these plans as responsibility for these plans rests with the State Records Commission.
