Murrindindi Shire Council is hosting community lunches in Flowerdale on Saturday 7 September, and in Yea on Saturday 21 September, as the next step in developing each community's Local Emergency Action Plan (LEAP).
A Local Emergency Action Plan (LEAP) involves working with communities to understand their local risks and the potential impacts and identifying community skills and resources to help prepare and recover from emergency events.
Previously, Council held meetings to collect initial feedback and ideas on local risks, potential impacts and local emergency priorities. This second round of community meetings is an opportunity for all residents, including those who did not attend the first meeting, to assist in prioritising which actions and resources will be part of their communities' LEAP. We encourage new and long-time residents of Flowerdale and Yea to attend these lunches and build connections with the community.
The Flowerdale community lunch will be held at Spring Valley Recreation Reserve on Saturday 7 September from 11.00 am to 1.00 pm.
