‼️NEWRY PUBLIC INFO‼️

Appreciation Post:
Big thanks to the Wellington Shire Council for providing the funds for us to purchase a solar powered trickle charger through their Quick Response Grant scheme.
This charger is for the starter battery on our generator that was installed last year so that it will always be ready to go whenever we need it, especially in case of emergency.
With the generator and battery system we now have at the Newry Hall, we can provide a location for community members to charge any necessary devices if the electricity grid is down, due to events such as fire, flood or major storm.

Happy Mother's day to all the Mum's in our community and within our brigade 💐 We hope you all have a wonderful day spent with family, enjoy your special day💝

‼️ Public information ‼️

A new national warning system called AusAlert will be used across Australia from October 2026.

AusAlert will be able to send warning messages to your mobile device as push notifications during:
• Natural hazards such as bushfires, floods, and tsunamis
• Public health emergencies
• Biosecurity incidents
• Security threats

Before the system is introduced, it will be tested.

In Victoria, a local test will happen in the Geelong suburbs of Highton and Belmont on Thursday 18 June at 2 pm, followed by a national test on Monday 27 July at 2 pm.

More about the tests and rollout of AusAlert will be shared on the VicEmergency page in the coming weeks.

❄️ As today's weather has a winter-like feel, it's likely that everyone is keen to escape the chill. That being said, have you recently checked and tested your smoke alarms in your home?

⚠️ On average, Victoria experiences around 3,000 house fires annually, with winter being one of the highest-risk periods for residential fires.

‼️Here are some tips to keep you and your family safe this winter

Yesterday, three of Newry's members participated in a planned burn on Heyfield Seaton Road alongside Seaton CFA , Heyfield Fire Brigade CFA , Toongabbie CFA, Cowwarr CFA, Coongulla Fire Brigade , Sale Fire Brigade and Maffra Fire Brigade members. The day was long and arduous, with everyone contributing significant effort, resulting in widespread exhaustion by the end. Thank you all for a great day.
