Contents written by Ashley Hillebrand. Foreword by Ben Hardman MP, Member for Seymour Parliamentary Secretary for Community Development and Bushfire Reconstruction. Broadford Secondary College VCAL students have done a commendable job producing ‘Teenagers in Fire Zones’. It is concise, easy to understand and informative. Many students at Broadford Secondary College were directly or indirectly affected by the Black Saturday Bushfires. Using the experience and knowledge they gained from it to help other young people, they have found a wonderful way to make a difference for others who may be impacted by disasters in the future and to help people prepare for future bushfire events. The information contained in the Fire booklet makes it a comprehensive and practical guide. The stories that people have shared with the authors are very powerful and will make the reader think about how to prepare and how to act before and during a bushfire event. Very importantly, the stories and anecdotes will also help provide survivors some knowledge and understanding about what they and so many others are going through, along with ideas on how to respond to the trauma. The booklet may also help friends and family members understand these problems and how they can best support people around them. Congratulations to all involved in bringing this booklet together. I commend it as essential reading for anyone who lives in a bushfire prone area and is interested to learn and survive in this environment. Photos below courtesy of Kevin Butler. History of the Black Saturday Bushfires The Black Saturday bushfires were a series of bushfires that ignited or were burning across Victoria on and around Saturday 7 February 2009 during extreme bushfire weather conditions, resulting in Australia’s highest ever loss of life from a bushfire.

  • Victorian Bushfire Reconstruction and Recovery Authority 100 Day Report TEN.046.001.0002
    TEN.046.001.0001 Victorian Bushfire Reconstruction and Recovery Authority 100 Day Report TEN.046.001.0002 Message from Christine Nixon Victoria is only just beginning to recover from the 2009 Victorian bushfires. Rebuilding homes and towns, supporting local economies, regenerating the natural environment and restoring community identity is an enormous task – for government, for businesses, and most of all for the communities themselves. Many people are starting to plan for their future, but many others are still deeply affected by the traumatic experiences they have suffered. The Victorian and Commonwealth Governments established the Bushfire Reconstruction and Recovery Authority to coordinate and oversee the rebuilding program. This Report outlines the steps we have taken in our first 100 days. Each fire affected community has very specific rebuilding needs. We are now in the process of identifying those needs so we can support communities to rebuild in the way they want. The sheer size of the devastated area and the huge number of people and organisations involved have presented challenges, but we are working through those issues in partnership with Community Recovery Committees, local councils, state and federal government departments and agencies, not-for-profit organisations and the private sector. Among many other recovery activities, the clean-up is underway, temporary villages are being established at Marysville, Kinglake and Flowerdale, and 29 community meetings have been held with more than 4400 people to develop medium and long-term rebuilding plans that reflect the wishes of each fire affected region. The reconstruction effort is a sensitive, evolving, step-by-step process. I would like to thank the many thousands of people I have met for their incredible spirit and determination to get on with the job of rebuilding.

  • Inquiry Into Liveability Options in Outer Suburban Melbourne
    Inquiry into Liveability Options in Outer Suburban Melbourne Inquiry into Liveability Options in Outer Suburban Melbourne April 2011 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This submission is presented to the Inquiry into Liveability Options in Outer Suburban Melbourne by Mitchell Shire Council. Mitchell Shire is Melbourne’s newest growth municipality. When the State Government changed the Urban Growth Boundary in 2010, it included parts of the Mitchell Shire. Within the body of this submission, the following points are raised. Wallan & Beveridge have a greater proportion of people with higher incomes. This is likely to result in high expectations for quality services and infrastructure. The data suggests that attracting and retaining health professionals from the metro area to a growth municipality like Mitchell remains a challenge for planners. “Planning for Community Infrastructure in Growth Areas” Wyndham City Council, City of Whittlesea and others – April 2008 could be used as a template for minimum standards of infrastructure provision. In simple terms, the existing roads won’t cope with the population growth. Developers will need encouragement to contribute more to liveability activities or tackle the issue themselves. A Developer Contribution Plan template for growth areas would assist. Often shopping facilities lag population growth for usually sound economic reasons but strategic planning needs to address this issue at the early planning stages. 2 Inquiry into Liveability Options in Outer Suburban Melbourne April 2011 The State Government has created regions across Victoria and Mitchell Shire sits in the Hume Region – whose administrative headquarters sit in Benalla, Wangaratta or Shepparton. The distances result in a disjoint, as Mitchell has far more in common in its South with Melbourne than with Wangaratta or Benalla.
