Euroa community encouraged to attend LEAP meeting this month

The Euroa Local Emergency Action Plan (LEAP) Steering Group will host its first community meeting on May 24, 2023.

As part of the LEAPing into Resilience Project, the Euroa community meeting comes after the same process is taking place in Avenel and Violet Town.

Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Cr Laura Binks said five communities were due to take part in the project – Avenel, Violet Town, Euroa, Nagambie and Strathbogie.

“We worked with the Violet Town community to prepare a Draft LEAP and we are currently in the process of preparing one for Avenel with the assistance of the steering group based on community feedback received,” she said.

“We are now about to begin this process in Euroa where community members will have the chance to provide their feedback on Wednesday May 24 from 5pm to 7pm at the Euroa Memorial Oval Function Rooms.

“We encourage the Euroa community to attend this meeting and provide their input on emergency preparedness in the township.”

Cr Binks said Council was also beginning to contact the Strathbogie community to develop a local steering group.

“We are looking forward to finalising Strathbogie and Nagambie’s LEAPs next year.”

LEAPing into Resilience is a three-year project funded by the Federal Government in collaboration with Mansfield and Murrindindi Shire Councils.
