 SCOTLAND ISLAND COMMUNITY TRANSPORT
VEHICLE THE COMMUNITY VEHICLE WILL BE OUT OF SERVICE AND OFF THE ISLAND DUE TO A MECHANICAL FAULT FROM: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29 TO: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 7 PLEASE RING TO CONFIRM VEHICLE AVAILABILITY IN ADVANCE!! EMERGENCY MEDICAL EVACUATION ONLY CALL SCOTLAND ISLAND FIRE BRIGADE 9999 4404 APOLOGIES FOR THIS INCONVENIENCE SIRFS Notice Please keep out of burn area A hazard reduction burn was conducted in Elizabeth Park last week. It was one of the strategic burns needed for the Bush Fire Management Plan for Scotland Island. For a number of reasons resident should not walk through the burn area. From an environmental point of view, too many people walking through the area will put pressure on the re-emerging native vegetation. From a safety point of view, there is still a potential for some of the dead trees in the park to fall. On the night of the burn, the Fire Brigade identified a number of potentially dangerous trees and these were cut down. However, several other trees fell of their own accord. THIS POSES A POTENTIAL PUBLIC RISK ISSUE. So, please avoid walking through the park until such time as the bush has had a chance to regenerate and the potential for falling trees has passed. The Island Brigade will be asking the Rural Fire Service and Pittwater Council to audit the area for potentially dangerous trees in the burn area. Thanks for your consideration in this matter.
