    The FRC meet with Marysville & Kinglake Recovery Committees and discussed ideas and it was decided thatif we all having the same concerns or any other issues we would report collective to the agencies involved.

    The Flowerdale Recovery Plan is due on 18th August to VBBRA which the FRC only found out recently. Wehave been working on document to meet the deadline put upon us. We also meet with working engines last

    Monday night to discuss where we were at with plan & then VBBRA, Shire & DHS representatives were

    invited to meeting. It was a very successful evening and now look forward to working with all groups to

    achieve the community recovery plan.

    IPO should be operational by early next week. Furniture & computers etc have now arrived which DarleyStud has supplied for the use of operation.

    The FRC have been approached about when material aid is likely to closed. We decided to seek communityconsultation on this matter. In this update there is a survey to be filled out by the community for further

    discussion as to the needs of the community.

    Media releaseFrom the Premier of Victoria

    Friday, 7 August, 2009

    FIREFIGHTING RECRUITMENT DRIVE GETS UNDERWAY

    The Victorian Government will put on 700 seasonal firefighters across the state ahead of thebushfire season with crews to be deployed from September, a month earlier than last year.

    Inspecting fire preparation works in Tremont, the Premier John Brumby said the Governmentwould next week launch a recruitment campaign for DSE seasonal project firefighters, with 80 tostart next month and increasing to 700 firefighters on the ground by the start of summer.

    They will join over 2700 firefighters from the DSE and partner agencies and more than 59,000

    CFA volunteers, including 1400 volunteers who have joined since the Black Saturday fires.

    Our Governments top priority is to work with emergency service agencies and Victoriancommunities to prepare the state for the bushfire season ahead, Mr Brumby said.

    The fire season is less than 100 days away and its vital that we are all ready. While the extremeweather conditions of Black Saturday were unprecedented, climate change, 13 years of droughtand dry forest and grass conditions mean we could see similar conditions this fire season.

    Thats why we are taking action to put in place extra resources through a record $1 billion budget,improving communications systems and tendering selectively for a national early warning systemso that its in place ahead of the bushfire season.

    Minister for the Environment and Climate Change Gavin Jennings said the DSE would call forapplications from August 15 until September 6 with about 700 seasonal firefighters deployed bythe start of summer preparing and suppressing fires on Victorias public land.

    Every new project firefighter goes through rigorous training and each year we see manyreturnees who bring with them skills and experience from previous seasons, Mr Jennings said.

    Becoming a seasonal firefighter is a great way to make a difference to our state and I encouragefit and able Victorians to apply.

    Today marks six months since the worst natural disaster in Australias history. On Black Saturday173 people lost their lives and many others were seriously injured, 78 communities were impactedand 430,000 hectares of land destroyed.

    "Six months on, Black Saturday is still with us, because many members of our community are stillsuffering the affects of the fires, Mr Brumby said.

    We need to keep working together to help fire-affected individuals, families and communities getback on their feet - as well as prepare for the coming fire season.

    Thats why our Government will lead a statewide bushfire preparedness week in October whichwill involve a dedicated, intense whole-of-state effort to increase awareness and preparedness

    ahead of the bushfire season.
