COVID Planning - Dubbo Regional Council

Dubbo Regional Council engaged Atom Consulting to review their preparedness in the event of the pandemic reaching and impacting their water supply operations operating areas of Dubbo, Wellington, Geurie and Mumbil. Our team:

• determined the system’s ability to operate remotely
• reviewed minimum staffing requirements and options for smaller teams
• prioritised tasks to determine which monitoring and maintenance tasks can be pushed back in the event of reduced operating capacity.

The output was a plan that Council could follow to improve their preparedness and manage their system with severely reduced staffing levels.
