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.

About 60 people gathered outside the Melbourne Magistrates Court on January 27 to support Refugee Action Collective member Chris Breen, who is on trial for “inciting” people to participate in a car cavalcade to support detained refugees.
The cavalcade on April 10 went past the Mantra Hotel where 65 refugees were detained. Thirty participants were fined $1652 each, a total of nearly $50,000. Most are planning to challenge the fines.

Breen was arrested before the cavalcade began and held for nine hours. The incitement charge relates to his creation of a Facebook event advertising the car cavalcade.
