Local BUSHFIRE RECOVERY Efforts

HELP Mount Alexander communities recover from bushfire. Our REGISTER is LIVE.

The Castlemaine Community House, Harcourt Valley Community House , Harcourt Progress Association, Castlemaine Community Investment Co-operative, Castlemaine Lions Club, local Landcare groups, Connecting Country and others are coordinating this volunteer and equipment register to help longer-term bushfire recovery, including in the Harcourt Valley.

People or organisations/groups can register their skills, time and useful equipment. These could be used in activities including clean up, workshops on insurance claims, fencing, repairs, re-vegetation, technology, rebuilding, or fundraising.

We are working with organisations in Harcourt to match resident’s needs to offers. This will co-ordinate help through a trusted local, reducing stress for affected people.

This is a volunteer matching service, not an emergency response. Immediate response needs (food, shelter, clothing, agistment, etc) will be dealt with through Mount Alexander Shire Council Recovery Centre in the Town Hall from 12th to 19th January.
