Bushfire Community Debrief

Tablelands Regional Council is hosting community debrief sessions for Innot Hot Springs, Millstream, Silver Valley and Mount Garnet residents affected by the 2023 bushfires.

'These sessions will provide a platform for the community to share their concerns and contribute to improvements in disaster response and recovery,' said Local Disaster Management Group Chair Mayor Rod Marti.

'We'll have representatives from various agencies including Queensland Fire Department and Department of Agriculture and Fisheries at the event to listen to what the community has to say.

'Learning from our disaster response is crucial to future preparedness, which will in turn result in a quicker and more effective recovery process.

'By taking on board community feedback we can learn from past mistakes and successes, develop better strategies and allocate resources more efficiently,' Mayor Marti said.
