On-farm post-fire support

If your farm has been impacted by the Streatham Skipton fire, the Glenelg Hopkins CMA works crew can assist with the immediate clean-up and repair works to your fencelines to make sure stock on farms can be contained and supported.
They can also install sediment control measures to ensure stock water points and waterways are not inundated with fire ash and debris.

If this type of work would help you with one less job around the farm while you're assessing the fire impact, please let us know.

Our thoughts are with the communities across Victoria who have been, and continue to be, impacted by bushfires. We recognise the loss of homes, infrastructure and businesses built over years and generations, and the heartbreaking destruction of livestock and wildlife. As communities and towns across Victoria are deeply shocked and grieving, we encourage you to reach out for assistance during this time of crisis.

We thank all the incredible first responders - many of whom are volunteers - who are doing everything they can to keep people, property and livestock safe.

If you’re in or near a danger zone, stay informed through your local ABC radio station and VicEmergency.
