The Barwon South West Regional Strategic Fire Management Planning Committee was established on 17 November 2008 at the Corangamite Council Chambers in Camperdown.
The committee comprises CFA, Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE), Parks Victoria, Department of Human Services (DHS), VICSES, Department of Planning and Community Development (DPCD), Department of Primary Industries (DPI), Victoria Police, VicRoads, utilities providers, rail authorities, Catchment Management authorities plus the municipalities of Queenscliff, Greater Geelong, Surf Coast, Colac Otway, Corangamite, Moyne, Glenelg and Southern Grampians.
The committee elected Mr Paul Stacchino, CFA General Manager Barwon-Corangamite as the Chair. In his role as Chair of the committee, Paul is keen to ensure that all committee members have the opportunity to participate in identifying and promoting the priorities and possible treatments for fire risk within the region, ensuring the Barwon South West Region is positioned to address current and emerging risk of fire to the people, assets, industry and the magnificent coastline of Victoria.
“One of the exciting elements of the IFMP framework will be the people involved in fire management planning at regional and municipal level undertaking a consistent community engagement process. This will ensure the communities of the Region understand what their risk is with respect to fire and how they can contribute to the delivery of treatments to mitigate their risk," Paul said.
