Testing of Early Warning System

Published: 23 September 2020. (Note: information was correct at date of publication but may have since been changed or superseded.)

Live testing of nine outdoor early warning stations installed as part of Council’s Copperlode Falls Dam Emergency Action Plan will occur tomorrow (24 September) between 10am and 2pm.

Residents are reminded that this is a test and not to panic when they hear the sirens.

The sirens have two elements: a voice notification and a siren tone.

Family pets should be secured to ensure they do not escape their yard during the test.
