Final Municipal Recovery Plan now available
Towong Shire Council would like to say a huge thank you to the community members who provided feedback on Council’s Municipal Recovery Plan 2019-2020 - Upper Murray Bushfires.
The plan is designed to create a coordinated and well-managed recovery with community at its core. While the disaster is a tragic event and impacts the whole community, it presents an opportunity for strengthening and renewal.
The plan was reviewed in detail in partnership with the Upper Murray Community Recovery Committee, including a review of local recovery plans, a community survey, and a series of meetings and workshops.
The final plan is now available to view:
- Online: Visit towong.vic.gov.au/municipal-recovery-plan
- In person: Drop into the Upper Murray Community Recovery Hub, or the Corryong or Tallangatta Council Offices and Libraries
The development of the plan was guided by Part 4 of the Emergency Management Manual Victoria, the Natural Principles for Disaster Recovery, the Eastern Victorian Fires 2019-20 State Recovery Plan and the Bushfire Recovery Victoria Recovery Framework.
Alignment of these frameworks ensures a consistent approach to recovery, and the clear targeting of funding opportunities and support offered by all levels of Government.
Towong Shire Council will continue to work in partnership with both Commonwealth and State Governments and agencies, such as Bushfire Recovery Victoria, as well as other community and private sector organisations to deliver clear community outcomes.
