A SENSE OF RECOVERY

Since the devastating Cudlee Creek fires, work has been ongoing behind the scenes to progress the recovery efforts in Harrogate and Brukunga.

Recovery from fires takes time and many of the projects have required careful planning to ensure they provide benefit for the community well into the future.

Over the next few weeks, rural roadside spraying and slashing will commence in key locations. Re-sheeting of roads in the area is well underway with Galdigau Road already completed and the Glen and Bloomingdale roads being completed over coming months.

Another project to help local communities rebuild involves the installation of a new 250,000 litre capacity fire water tank at the Harrogate Community Hall. The site is currently being prepared with plumbing installed in readiness for the new tank to arrive mid-November.

Council is working closely with the local community and CFS to refill and make the tank operational by the end of November.
