I am seeking your assistance to remind residents in your Shire that they cannot rely on public water supplies in the event of a bushfire. As you may be aware, while we make every effort to maintain supply, loss of electricity may cause pumps that transfer water to our storage tanks to fail, and we may not be able to respond to system failures in areas that are deemed by DFES or Western Power to be unsafe for our crews to enter. For those residents who choose to stay and defend their homes, it is imperative that they have an independent water supply as well as their own pumping capability.

Please note the change of schedule in the Ordinary Council Meetings for 2020. The meetings will now occur on the third Thursday of the month, apart from January which will occur on the fourth Thursday of the month.

Please note holiday hours for Boddington Refuse site on Robins Road

Friday December 6 5-8pm

Ask yourself the same question again and answer it. With bushfire season, beginning earlier and finishing later with drier winters in between it is time to consider your fire preparedness and take time to develop your Bushfire Plan. This begins with a 5-minute fire chat with your family to developing a fire plan to determine if you are prepared to stay and defend and when you are prepared to leave. Unfortunately, too many lives are lost with people leaving it too late to escape being caught up in the fires. To stay and defend requires good planning and being physically, mentally and emotionally able to do so and having the right firefighting equipment available.

Local Planning Scheme available for inspection

If you plan to stay and defend your home you must have an INDEPENDENT water supply and pumping capability. Scheme water may not be available due to damaged infrastructure and cuts to electricity. Experience shows that when there is extreme demand water supply and pressure are at risk. Continued................................
