18.01.2022 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.

18.01.2022 Broke ground for stage 1 of the Clifton Creek Community Playground today. Installation of the Multi-Play unit planed for late November. We will have a commu...nity working bee to carry out some landscaping on the 5th of December. Bring your shovels, wheelbarrows, gloves and kids along to plant some plants and lend a hand to be a part of this great community project. Stage 2 of this project will be planning and installing some community designed elements. If you would like to be involved in this volunteer team please PM Jen Smith.

14.01.2022 Can certain types of plants, like this mulberry tree found in Upper Brogo, help things stay cool and moist, and reduce the risk of bushfire to your home? ABC Science investigates

14.01.2022 Following the Black Summer bushfires that ravaged East Gippsland, we found there were many community groups wanting to take control of their own recovery throug...h community projects, but needed a little of professional help. Then we realised this wasn’t just an East Gippsland problem, there were community groups, committees and boards all over Gippsland who were great at doing what they do, but sometimes needed some professional expertise in a particular area. Specifically, we found many groups seeking professional services such as: Help writing business plans Assistance with budgets Legal advice Grant writers Communications support Help with IT and social media Media and publicity Being professionals working in Gippsland, we also identified the desire for people like us to do out bit for our communities, but struggling to commit long-term to projects, boards or committees due to a hectic career and other commitments. So what ifwe could connect the community groups or organisations who need a one-off job done with the professional people in Gippsland who have those skills and are available to help out? That is how Gippsland Professional Volunteers was born. We are a group of six Gippsland professionals who are participating in the 2020 Gippsland Community Leadership Program and our project is to establish this platform to assist East Gippsland communities in their bushfire recovery but also any not-for-profit organisation across Gippsland who need a little bit of help. So please, share this page with your networks, work colleagues, family, friends or anyone you think may be interested. Please help us grow this network!

11.01.2022 Sundays ramble was a really positive event - with some birds calling, beetles to discover, real live lizards and the beautiful blue pincushion flowers. dianellas, xanthorrhoea -even a spider orchid spotted. Three groups of children and adults enjoyed the walk and then had some delicious morning tea. Robyn Hermans

03.01.2022 Sophie Aplin, 14, wrote this poem, the story of how she and her mum defended their home from the bushfire last year. She lives in the Pappinbarra Valley, where... the worst bushfire locals had seen, tore through even the never-burnt rainforest. read by Sophie Aplin. photos supplied by Emma, Angela and Sue Frost, video by Wiriya Sati

02.01.2022 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.
