Community Emergency Response Times - Shepparton Regional City CFA has service delivery standards, which specify a response time target to attend an emergency incident. There are different service delivery standards (response times) across the State, depending on the hazards and risks within a geographic area. This map shows the percentage of incidents where the community received a response within the applicable service delivery standard in a brigade area across all hazard classes for the period of 1 April to 30 June 2019 (Q4). This map shows the timeliness of the service the community received within the brigade area.

This information does not contain CFA’s response to Emergency Medical Response as CFA is a support agency and CFA has no response time targets for these incidents. Road Crash Rescue has also been excluded as these incidents are subject to different response protocols and service delivery standards. This map contains an aggregate of response time compliance across Hazard Class 2, 3 and 4. Where the service delivery standard is met by any brigade, this may be from a CFA brigade outside of its own Brigade Area, MFB or SES Unit. This map may contain data for MFB stations responding as a CFA Brigade where MFB has moved up to support a CFA integrated brigade. Disclaimer: 03 6 12 18 24 This map is provided for information purposes only. The data is accurate as at 16 July 2019 and may be subject to change. Due to protected industrial action at ESTA, some arrival times and incident types were not recorded in quarter four of 2018-19. The period impacted has been excluded Kilometers from the reported data. CFA recommends caution in the analysis and use of this data set as it is incomplete. CFA’s ability to provide timely operational responses and maintain community safety in this period was not impacted. é Date Prepared: 28/11/2019.

Populations are counted and estimated in various ways. The most comprehensive population count available in Australia is derived from the Census of Population and Housing conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics every five years. However the Census count is NOT the official population of the City of Greater Shepparton. To provide a more accurate population figure which is updated more frequently than every five years, the Australian Bureau of Statistics also produces "Estimated Resident Population" (ERP) numbers for the City of Greater Shepparton. See data notes for a detailed explanation of different population types, how they are calculated and when to use each one.

I think it’s safe to say all teachers, par- ents and students learnt a lot about what it must have been like to live on the Goldfields of Ballarat during the Australian Gold Rush. Highlights of our two day trip included watching the ‘Blood on the Southern Cross’ show, witnessing gold get smelted and re-poured into gold bars, descending into the Red Hill Mine, dressing up in olden day clothes, panning for gold and witnessing children consume lol- lipops the size of their own heads! A big thanks must go to Mrs Walsh who organised the excursion and to all the parents who helped over the two days. I really appreciated all the support and sympa- thy I received from those parents and teachers who witnessed my efforts trying to fill up the school bus on Thursday night! We have a huge fortnight coming up here at Currawa PS. The Life Education Van date has been changed from this Friday to next Monday and we will attend Dookie PS for the full day. Buses will run as per normal. We have two Cluster Days next Tuesday and Thursday too. The first will be with the Shepparton Small Schools Cluster and we will watch a performance of Sleeping Beauty in the morning and compete in a range of Tabloid Sports in the afternoon.
