Evacuation Centre Update

With all available Council resources currently assisting in the fire rescue effort, Council wishes to advise that its Emergency Evacuation Centre at the Tony Luchetti Showground (Civic Ballroom) remains open. The centre will not be staffed overnight, however an after-hours phone number will be available on-site should any member of the community be of need. Placement of animals on-site must be subject to the requirements of the Local Land Services, this information is also on-site.

Please think ahead and act proactively with regard to your response to this hazard. If you are at risk, please follow your Bush Fire Survival Plan. Remember – leaving early is the safest option so please contact friends and family now to secure your options for evacuation, should they be required. Public facilities have limited space and should only be used by those in absolute need.
