Local Emergency Directory - Expression of Interest

To support community safety and preparedness, Wellington Shire has been offering to assist the creation of Local Emergency Directories (LEDs) for various communities across the Shire. The directories include a map detailing critical information such as the locations of local emergency services (Police, CFA, Ambulance) and defibrillator locations. They also include a handy checklist which you can follow to prepare for, plan and act should an emergency occur.

Currently there are 10 communities within Wellington Shire that have LEDs:

Carrajung & Carrajung Lower
Coongulla
Devon North
Golden Beach & Paradise Beach
Gormandale
Meerlieu
McLoughlins Beach
Tarra Valley
Woodside & Woodside Beach
Yarram

You can see these LED's and learn more here.

How does your community get involved?

We are now reaching out to any community across the Shire without an LED to understand which communities are interested in the creation of an LED.

If you would like an LED created for your community, please complete this Expression of Interest form to provide us with your contact details and one of our Community Preparedness Officers will be in touch with you to gather the required information.

What happens after the EOI process?

Once an LED has been developed to a draft level there will be an online community consultation period of two weeks, including a local, in-person session for the community to provide further feedback on the document. Once the feedback period concludes, final changes will be determined and the finalised LED produced. The LED will then be available on Wellington Shire’s website as well as available in a printed hard copy for residents.
