Bushfire

All local residents are being encouraged to Respect it or Regret it this bushfire season.

Prepare yourself by creating a Bushfire Survival Plan and pack a Bushfire Survival Kit and have it accessible and ready to use.

Prepare for Bushfire Season

An unprepared property is not only at risk itself, but may also present an increased danger for neighbours. A well prepared home is easier to defend and reduces the risk to surrounding properties.
