Tawonga Mt Emu is one of the Ovens district planned burns and we intend on delivering it this year.

At this stage it is on the scheduler for after Easter, however weather conditions are uncertain with a possibility of rain Sunday/Monday which will affect the fuel moistures and therefore the timing.

If you could pass onto your contacts that the best way to keep up to date is by using the Planned Burns Victoria website  https://plannedburns.ffm.vic.gov.au/

By signing up they will receive text message notifications when a burn is scheduled within 10 days, when it is likely to be ignited within 48 hours and when it is ignited.

Community Decorate Tawonga party a huge success!

Mrs Santa, Christmas crafts and plenty of smiles lit up Tawonga Pioneer Memorial Park on Sunday December 3. 

Tawonga & District Community Association played host to a Community Party that was open to everyone.

People from Tawonga and further afield flocked to the park bringing the Spirit of Christmas to Town

There were loads of activities like make-your-own Christmas decorations, a sausage sizzle, putting up decorations around the Park and of course a guest appearance by Mrs Santa herself, transported on “Cliffy”, Tawonga’s little white fire truck.

The community Christmas Tree was enthusiastically decorated as part of the evening’s activities.

The evening was very well attended and everyone who came along had a great time!

Please note the following update from:
Ben Merritt, Community Partnership Support Officer – Ovens District. Hume Region, Forest Fire Mangement Victoria.

I have previously sent you information about the bridge and road works that my department was conducting in the Mountain Creek and Trappers Gap area northeast of Mount Beauty.

I need to update you with 3 pieces of information

1. Both Mountain Creek Road and Trappers Gap Road south of the Trappers Gap bridge, have been assessed as 4WD only roads. They are both currently unsuitable for AWD and 2WD traffic.
2. Both Mountain Creek Road and Trappers Gap Road south of the Trappers Gap bridge will be temporarily closed to all traffic, if predicted rainfall will lead to traffic further damaging the road surface.
3. Our statewide team have advised that bridge works will be conducted on the Mountain Creek Road between 31 July and 4 August.   Drivers are urged to use Gundowring Road and Kiewa Valley Highway.

For further information about road closures visit: www.ffm.vic.gov.au/permits-and-regulations/closures-of-parks-and-forests
