Update on activities


Well, its been a while since my last post (not that last post!),we really have been head down... Paul Chaffe has joined the team and been going through orientation to be our new EMO /Rural Fire Officer. Rosco has been attempting to become an oil spill manager, Brent has been extracting subsidies from the NRFA, Evan has been working on bylaws review and the risk profile part of the Group Plan, and I have been busy completing the first draft of the Group Plan.

The Plan will be workshopped by EMOs and CEG in the next few weeks then we will have a bit of time to complete a number of supporting documents before it goes back to CEG for endorsement to go to the Joint Standing Committee. Things are on track for a 5 December approval of our new Plan.

The new team has taken a few days to look at the current Business Plan and also where we are going in the next year to so. I've scared them with Project Noah - a proposal to seriously attack some of the response deficiencies we've identified. We've also managed to squeeze in a little bit of 'boat training'. Brent thinks he's clever being the only one to get in touch with the local wildlife.
