Bush Fire Information We have now entered our next (and final) phase of the 2019/20 bush fire period, Restricted burning- permits required. I would like to thank everyone for their responsible actions over the Prohibited burning season. To obtain a permit to burn, contact your brigade captains who will issue the permit or let you know their designate permit issuer. Despite the recent rain we are still looking at dry fuels so if you can hold off burning until later please do so. Permits to burn are required up until 30 April 2020 however the date may be varied either way dependent on seasonal conditions. Any change to the dates will be advertised. If you are burning off, ensure you follow the requirements of the permit. Have adequate water on hand and please continue to monitor the fire through to extinguishing of the fire. Please monitor the weather prior to ignition, as we will still have a few hot days as well as windy conditions preceding the cold fronts, and delay burning until conditions better suit. Ensure you notify your neighbours as well before commencing the burn. We will now start to see a lot of smoke around as DBCA will begin their important autumn fuel reduction program and the farmers begin cleaning up the paddocks prior to seeding. With your help we can continue our successful fire season through to the end and here is hoping for an early and extended winter wet season. William Batt, Chief Bush Fire Control Officer

I have to mention the loss of a further few businesses around our Town:

The bra manufacturer has gone bust,

The submarine maker has gone under, The food blender maker has gone into liquidation,

The suppliers of origami paper has folded, The Chinese has been taken away,

The launderette has been taken to the cleaners, The baker has run out of dough,

The clock manufacturer has had to wind down, The shoe shop has given everyone the boot,

And the dog kennel has had to call in the retrievers.
