Fire Prevention and Education in community
Every year, in the lead up to the summer fire season, Central Goldfields Shire works with the Country Fire Authority (CFA) to identify and manage fire risks in the municipality.
Central Goldfields Shire Maryborough Ward Cr Gerard Murphy said that under the Country Fire Authority Act 1958, Council has a legal obligation to reduce the risk of fire for the community.
“We do this by slashing our roadsides and open spaces and our Municipal Fire Prevention Officer plays a key role in inspecting private land to ensure our landowners have adequately prepared their properties.
