Last night at the Wingecarribee Shire Council meeting, Councillors listened to the overwhelming number of community submissions and adopted a Finance Committee.

As you know, I’ve been calling for a Finance Committee for over a year and this is a step in the right direction.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to make a submission on this, and to Council for listening. A finance committee can support us to get our community best value for rates.

🔥Changes to Burn Notifications🔥

Following community feedback, the NSW RFS has removed the 21-day limit on Burn Notifications outside of the Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP).

This means you can now submit a Burn Notification for any length of time during non-BFDP, without having to renew every 21 days.

You will still need to notify your neighbours at least 24 hours prior to lighting up.

See the image for more info, or to submit a notification visit www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/notify

And sincere gratitude to All our First Responders and their families who support their work on Thank our First Responders Day.
