Port Fairy SES Unit left without a home, as current base is condemned
Port Fairy’s SES unit has been left homeless, after their Sackville Street base was found to be an unacceptable safety risk.
The Unit was informed on Friday that they would no longer be able to operate out of the base, due to a risk of electrocution and mould embedded in the building’s frame.
Unit Controller Stephen McDowell, said they were now scrambling to find a temporary home for their vehicles and equipment. At this stage we basically don t have a home he said.
The Victorian government will spend $33.7million to roll out new road-safety cameras capable of detecting drivers using their mobile phones behind the wheel.
A trial of the technology was conducted over a three-month period last year, assessing almost 680,000 vehicles.
It found one in 42 drivers were using their mobile phone while behind the wheel.
