🛠️ Approximately 450 km of fire‑impacted roads will remain under a restricted suspension for a further six months while recovery works continue.

👋During this time, Council will continue to prioritise works based on safety, risk and available resources.

📣 Thank you for your patience and understanding during the emergency response and recovery period.

Despite being in her 4th decade of service Taggerty Tanker 1 has been hard at it still.The old girl is now 33 years in service and one of the oldest in the CFA fleet. Headlights like candles, no airbags, no ABS and lap sash style seat belts. On the plus side the tape deck works and you can feel nostalgic as you rumble down the road. If there is a tail wind it can nearly do the speed limit to! Great to see so many community and brigade members at the station this morning to get a fire update and support each other. Stay safe everyone and thanks for the support and kind messages.
