Explore Councils by state
All Cardinia Shire residents can speak directly with local emergency experts and learn more about preparing for emergencies at a series of free sessions being held this Community Safety Month.
Community Safety Month is held across Cardinia Shire every October and reminds us that we all have a role to play in keeping our community safe.
The information sessions are aligned with Council’s Liveability Plan objectives of raising community awareness about hazards and building the capacity of individuals and households to prepare for and respond to events.
