18.01.2022 East Gippsland Fires 2019-20 a year on As a community, we approach 21 November 2020 very differently to 12 months ago. Following years of drought, the events ...of the 2019-20 summer started to unfold around us on 21 November 2019. Our worst fears of a dangerous fire season soon eventuated. Since that time there has been so much change and uncertainty in the world, and that has been reflected in the lives of East Gippslanders and our communities these past 12 months. But East Gippsland is resilient. We’ve been through a lot and have much to look forward to. Now referred to as the ‘Black Summer Fires’, lightning strikes started our 2019-20 fire season. Every state was aglow as a national emergency unfolded. The East Gippsland fires were declared contained on 27 February 2020 99 days later. We all have different memories of key events within the Black Summer Fires. Our families, friends, neighbours, colleagues and visitors were all impacted. The effects are deep and long lasting. Many people continue to do it tough. We need to look out for those who need extra time and extra care and we need to be kind to one another. For some, those memories will be those first lightning strikes of 21 November 2019. For others it will be the constant threat of fires from all points of the compass, the days of multiple evacuation messages, or when the fire front arrived. For others it will be the day they decided to ‘leave early’, or perhaps when they returned to properties that were not the same as when they had left. Others will remember vividly the time they received the call-up to help, or the days and nights they worked on the fire line or in relief centres, or when their own volunteering and charitable spirit shone through. Our deepest thoughts are with families who lost loved ones as we enter this 12-month anniversary period. The bushfires have impacted us all in different ways. As a community we fought to defend, we battled fatigue, faced frustration and disappointment, felt the isolation, experienced a devastated environment first-hand, dealt with another economic blow, and have probably asked the question ‘why us?’. But there have also been the moments that have shown the best of who we are as East Gippslanders: the extraordinary deeds, volunteerism, goodwill and community support. As we mark the Black Summer Fires anniversary, it’s an opportunity to reflect and recognise the work done in that initial emergency response and relief by so many people, paid and volunteer: our emergency services, Australian Defence Force, support from abroad, business and industry, groups and charities, and all three tiers of government. The magnitude of these contributions may never be fully understood, but what we do know is that they were all appreciated. There has been some remarkable recovery that has taken place this year. In the face of a pandemic, our communities have rallied to lead their own recovery. We are healing (we’ve been shown the way by our amazing natural environment) and there is a well-placed sense of optimism about our future. Our resilience and community spirit saw us through a debilitating drought, the horrors of a most devastating fire season, and a global pandemic. We continue to roll up our sleeves, look for the positives and we’re ready to create the next wave of opportunities for our families and region. It’s also important we strive to understand the causes and future implications of such events. Understanding the roles forest management, land use planning, a changing climate and emergency response all play will help us adapt and be better prepared. East Gippsland remains front-of-mind for so many people, so let’s continue to collectively hold our heads high, remember our past and look to the opportunities that lie ahead. There are signs of hope. Transforming to a better future is possible. - Cr Mendy Urie, East Gippsland Shire Mayor Bushfire Recovery Victoria Bruthen & District Neighbourhood House Sarsfield Recreation Reserve and Community Buchan Neighbourhood House Clifton Creek Community Public Hall Omeo Region DELWP Gippsland Australian Red Cross - Victoria Gippsland Lakes Complete Health

13.01.2022 What have/are you going to do to go out of your way to be kind to someone this week?

13.01.2022 If your fencing was affected by fire last summer, you can still dispose of the fencing wire (the wire only) at one of the 10 stockpile locations in East Gippsla...nd: Buchan (Old sawmill, 2286 Bruthen-Buchan Road) Cann River Landfill Cobungra (Plowmans property at Tolands road) Ensay (Blowhard gravel pit Little River Road) Newmeralla Recreation Reserve (western side of the showgrounds, away from horse yards) Nowa Nowa (old railway station site) Omeo (old soil dump site) Sarsfield (camp and water reserve, Great Alpine Road) Wairewa (Waterpoint, opposite the Wairewa Transfer Station, Carl Smith road) When dumping fencing wire, ensure that you place it in the designated area for easy collection and to keep community areas neat. The wire will be picked up by scrap metal contractors for recycling. Other fencing waste material will need to be taken to your local waste facility for disposal.
