08.01.2022 REQUEST TO STOP HARVEST THIS AFTERNOON CFA District 18, Acting Assistant Chief Fire Officer (ACFO) Rob McNally has asked farmers in the Mildura, Buloke and Swa...n Hill Shire areas and the Northern part of Yarriambiack Shire to refrain from harvesting between 1pm and 7pm today 27/11/20 and Saturday 28/11/20. He said today and Saturday would see fire danger ratings of very high and severe across these areas and harvesting in these conditions would bring with it a risk of damage to headers and crops. "We've had a number of fires started from headers during harvest, and a number of haystack fires," he said. "Tomorrow is going to be just as hot if not hotter, but we've got a cool change coming through with a south westerly, which will increase our fire risk. "We also ask that farmers refrain from conducting harvesting work between 1pm and 7pm on Saturday and monitor your haystack temperatures. If a fire starts, the wind will change the direction of the fire. Cooperation from our farmers in the District to help prevent fires is greatly appreciated.

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, our community will notice a few changes this year. To keep our community safe while enjoying our pools, we ask all pool attendees to observe the following guidelines: Maintain 1.5 metres social distancing both in the pool and outside the pool. Regularly wash and sanitise your hands while using the facility, and sanitise hands upon entering the facility. A fitted face mask is required by all patrons over the age of 12 years, and should be worn at all times when not in the water. In line with outdoor gatherings, up to groups of 10 people can gather outdoors surrounding the pool, however groups should minimise congregating with other groups. A maximum of 50 people in our main pools at any time Maximum numbers in the toddler pools vary from pool to pool depending on their size, more details can be found on Councils website. Check-in to the pool when you arrive to assist us with contact-tracing requirements, using the QR code which will be located at each pool entrance, patrons are encouraged to bring their smart phones to do this, if you are unable to use the QR code, please alert a lifeguard to assist you with checking in. While our toilets, showers and changerooms will be open for the community to use, we encourage pool patrons to minimise the use of these facilities where possible, to help us keep on top of sanitising these areas frequently.
