RF24.3
St Georges Basin
RFS
On 8 November 2023
meeting Thomas Tait advised
that an additional twenty (20)
parking spaced
would be sufficient for members
vehicles. The Brigade currently have
12-18 members

discussion has been ongoing between
Council and

proposal to build a headquarters.
Including a two (2) bay station with adjoining amenities co

SES and will continue to develop that
concept and obtain cost
options.

RF24.4
Dangerboard Bridge
Gary George gave an
update about this matter,
• The advice Gary received from Trevor Dando is the
matter was dealt with at
the recent FAFT
(Fire Access
Fire Trails) meeting.
Works &
Services (Council) are assuming
responsibility for the asset however currently
there is no budget for repair
works.
• Gary assumed that
Works and Services
will put in for a Project
Mandate for
funding to
provide works for the bridge.
Clr Patricia White enquired if Trevor
Dando will be
applying for country grant
funds to fix the bridge. Gary George stated that
this was a matter for Trevor
Dando Manager of
Works & Services as the responsible officer, and therefore was unable
to comment, but expressed he was willing to follow up
with Works and
Services for updates.
ACTION:
Clr Patricia
White
will speak with Carey McIntyre about progressing a
Grand fund and
plan
Vic Walker questioned if an estimate cost has been calculated
for potential repairs to the bridge.
• Gary George commented that it was
unknown.
• Matt Reeves
stated that the repairs are
also necessary
to the road adjacent
to
the bridge as
it has fundamental foundation issues.
• RFS had
a FAFT (Fire Access
Fire Trails) meeting -
funding for next
financial year is
now open. The
Bridge may be raised as a priority listing for fire
access perspective.
Gary George questioned where on
the FAFT meeting agenda
does this matter sit.
• Matt Reeves advised that not having a Land manager to take ownerships has caused delays
with obtaining grant funding works
however the RFS
do not see the area as a great reemergence
of fire risk for another 5 – 10 years
therefore receiving funding for this will be
harder. Areas such as Tomerong
that are classified as an
extreme fire risk
Hazard are more
likely to receive funding.
Clr Patricia White stated that
if the heavy vehicle
regulator needs to access the bridge and grant
funding is required to fix the bridge,
this will
then take a few years to achieve
an outcome.
