Disaster Management & Recovery

Local Buy Arrangements: Supporting councils in disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.

At Local Buy, we understand the vital role councils play in protecting and rebuilding communities during times of crisis. Whether responding to a disaster or managing recovery efforts, councils need procurement solutions that are reliable, efficient, and compliant – enabling swift and effective action.

In response to requests from councils to streamline disaster recovery activities, we’ve developed the Local Buy Disaster Recovery Procurement Toolkit, and a dedicated Disaster Management & Recovery Arrangement in collaboration with the Queensland Reconstruction Authority (QRA), the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ), councils, and industry partners.

These resources are designed to simplify access to trusted suppliers, services, and procurement frameworks – empowering councils and government organisations to act swiftly, confidently, and compliantly when it matters most.
