If you are asking about the OS 780 flight - yes. Rescue services were alerted and runway was blocked for 10 minutes after landing. Imagine (god forbid) those gears collapsing on landing - it would constitute a full emergency, in my opinion. The crew was not aware of the damage and problem with the gear so everybody had to be extra careful. Hence the emergency procedures.

Or perhaps things are done differently Down Under?

Cheers.
