Significant Weather Events - Local Buy supporting your recovery teams.
A record 11 natural disasters caused widespread damage across Queensland in the past year. These have significantly impacted homes, roads, public infrastructure and businesses and caused distress to our communities. The ability to respond and action swift recovery methods whilst ensuring compliance to procurement legislation and policies can be challenging. This is where Local Buy can assist.
When it comes to the recovery and rebuilding of our affected areas, Queensland councils and communities do what we do best and roll up the sleeves.
If your local council needs to rebuild a library, repair and reseal roads for public safety or start the undertaking that is removing debris due to weather events, Local Buy arrangements can assist you in making this process quicker and easier for your community at their time of need whilst ensuring transparency and compliance in the procurement process.
From our Roads and Civil Arrangement to Open Spaces and Smart Cities, the use of these arrangements will give council ease of delivery, correct application of funding towards recovery and assistance to rebuild your local community.
