Developed by a dedicated steering group following a community meeting in April, the plan aims to enhance awareness of emergency risks in the area and identify actions to improve community preparedness and recovery.

Strathbogie Shire Council administrator Peter Stephenson praised the community’s involvement.

“This is our fourth township emergency action plan that council officers have prepared, and I am so proud of the communities who have developed their plans,” he said.

“It is the input from locals that makes these plans effective, and in the event of an emergency, whatever it may be, having a plan to assist the community is crucial.”

Residents can view the draft LEAP and provide comments on council’s engagement hub at www.share.strathbogie.vic.gov.au until Friday, September 13. The steering group encourages community members to contribute their suggestions for dealing with emergencies to help finalise the document.
