Local Disaster Management Groups (LDMG) are established under the Disaster Management Act 2003 (Qld). The City of Ipswich LDMG is responsible for making decisions about and managing disaster response and recovery operations in the Ipswich local government area.

These disaster management groups form part of the Queensland Disaster Management Arrangements, which enables a progressive escalation of support from the local level through district, state and federal levels during a disaster.
Ipswich City Council respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners, the Jagera, Yuggera and Ugarapul people of the Yugara/Yagara Language Group, as custodians of the land and waters we share. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging, as the keepers of the traditions, customs, cultures and stories of proud peoples.
