We All Play a Part. Bushfire Ready Neighbourhoods

Peter Middleton
Community Development Coordinator
Tasmania Fire Service

In 2009 the Tasmania Fire Service piloted a community development approach to bush fire preparedness in a small number of targeted communities that have a higher level of bush fire risk. Critical to the approach was to build a strong evidence base by collaborating with the University of Tasmania and the Bushfire Cooperative Research Centre (CRC).
Now a full community development program, ‘Bushfire Ready Neighbourhoods’ are being implemented with one long-term goal of embedding community development and engagement in the organisation’s culture and the way we work with communities.
