24.01.2022 FIRE PREPAREDNESS UPDATE The new process to receive and approve requests from our Melbourne-based property owners to undertake emergency preparation at their properties will be live on our website tomorrow. We appreciate the patience of non-resident property owners, many of whom we know have not been able to visit their properties for many months. It also means a lot to our residents to know these properties will be ready for the summer bushfire season. ... People from Melbourne who do come up to prepare their properties need to abide by the restrictions they live under in Melbourne. If anyone is concerned by any behaviour they see, report it to Victoria Police on 131 444. #helpinghepburn
