Landholders and residents in the Macedon Ranges that have been affected by storm damage are being urged to attend recovery workshops run by council.
Macedon Ranges council’s storm recovery drop-in sessions have been developed by specialist organisations in the region to provide information and assistance for those still recovering from the harsh weather which lashed the shire in July.
A Macedon Ranges spokesperson said these sessions will also assist residents to identify fire risks on their properties and ways to reduce them for spring and summer.
“All are welcome, and no bookings required but COVIDSafe guidelines will apply at all venues,” the council said.
Representatives from Bushfire Recovery Victoria, Parks Victoria, the Country Fire Authority and Sunbury and Cobaw Community Health will be available to speak with residents at the sessions.
The first session will take place from 2pm to 7pm on August 25 at the Woodend Neighbourhood House.
The second will be at the Macedon Jubilee Hall on August 26 from 2pm to 8pm.
The council’s economic development team will also be available at at each venue from 4pm to 6pm.
For immediate assistance, call the council’s Recovery Operations Centre: 5422 0237.
