Much of the Strathbogie Tableland has been assessed as having an EXTREME bushfire risk

The following headings are links to valuable information which is applicable to us on the Tableland:

STRATHBOGIE TABLELAND BUSHFIRE INFORMATION

The above document is our Bushfire Emergency Resource Booklet which is focused on information (and external resources) useful for local residents.

Bushfire Check List

The above document produced by STAG a few years ago, is called My Personal Fire Plan. This document is a check list which can be used when preparing for a fire, what to do in the event of a fire and lists relevant emergency contact details, but it should NOT REPLACE your own personal fire plan.  The CFA document “Your Guide to Survival” is usually available in hard copy at the general store and at any CFA Information Session held in the Strathbogie Memorial Hall prior to each fire season.

Given its rating as “an EXTREME risk” in the event of bushfire, it is essential that all residents (whether permanent or part-time) have a written fire plan regardless of whether they plan to leave or stay and defend.

Online Fire Planner

The above link will take you to the Victorian online Fire Planner which will guide you through the steps to make a personal fire plan.

The document My personal Bushfire To Do List  Is on this site and can be printed out and saved in a readily accessible and visible place in your house.

Further information relating to emergencies and, in particular bushfires, may be found on the websites for the CFA, SES and Shire of Strathbogie (See below)

Bushfire Place of Last Resort

Should you be caught on the Tableland during a bushfire and your fire plan has failed, the Strathbogie Golf Club in Armstrong Ave, Strathbogie, has been designated as the only Neighbourhood Safer Place – Bushfire Place of Last Resort on the Tableland. But be aware that fallen trees may block your access and there may not be a CFA or other official person there.

The ONLY Bushfire Place of Last Resort on the Tableland is at:

  • Strathbogie Golf Club house                            17 Armstrong Avenue Strathbogie

NOTE:  No exit route can be guaranteed to be open in an emergency.
