LOCAL DISASTER COORDINATION CENTRE DALRYMPLE RD, GARBUTT
-
Contemporary, minimalist architecture;
-
Category 5 cyclone proof structure; and
-
Offices and server hall.
The centre provides for two critical facilities, that will continue to function before, during and after a severe cyclone or other natural disaster:
-
The Local Disaster Co-ordination Centre - LDCC – Government operated emergency facilities required to manage and co-ordinate state, local government and community services; and
-
The North Queensland Regional Data Centre – NQRDC - containing a massive computer server bureau, operated by state and local government, and private corporations.
The centre was constructed over an 18-month period with an engineered external envelope and roof able to withstand cyclonic wind pressure and flying debris experienced in a category 5+ storm event. With self-contained water, sewerage, and power supplied by multiple generators with 100% redundancy, it is able to operate independently for several days without external supply.
