Pandemic Recovery Framework

The Yarra Ranges COVID-19 Pandemic Recovery Framework is intended to shape Council’s approach for short, medium and long term activities to support the economic, social and health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The complexity of recovery in the context of a Pandemic is exacerbated by the protracted nature of the public health emergency, the continuing threat of outbreaks and community infection, the restrictions on how people live and work and the significant role of all levels of government.

As such, the likely impacts and needs will change over time and a cautious and considered approach is required to ensure Council’s efforts to support communities is best targeted with greatest effect.

The purpose of this Framework is to:

• Define recovery outcomes that support the development of short, medium and longer term recovery activities; and to
• Provide a process for the effective evaluation of these activities to understand their contribution towards intended outcomes.
