Feedback on CFU Cabinets
Below
is a message from the SIRFB asking community members if there are
potential comments regarding the proposed locations for 4 additional
CFU Cabinets
Back in 2014 the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) installed a Community
Fire Unit (CFU) Cabinet on Richard Road near the top of Bell Steps.
This cabinet is equipped with firefighting equipment to facilitate a
quick response in an emergency situation.
It is now proposed to augment this cabinet with
additional ones at the following locations:
- Corner of Florence Terrace and Elsie Steps on the
water side near the concrete drain
- Near RFS Water Tank 3 at the top of the Island above
Cargo Wharf
- On the corner of the road up from Cargo Wharf and
Robertson Road – on the water side
- Near RFS Water Tank 1 at the top of the Island – the
eastern most tank
These locations are all on public land controlled by the
Northern Beaches Council either as road reserves or as parks.
This linked document gives the precise locations with
photos.
If anybody has an issue with any of the proposed
locations could they please reply ASAP as the Northern Beaches Council
plans to begin installing the concrete pads for the additional CFU
cabinets in the next few weeks.
Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Message of Thanks
Even more special than receiving the award for Outstanding Community
Service on Australia Day, are the messages of love and congratulations
from everyone! Thank you all!
A special thank you to Shar Jones who engineered this whole thing, to
those who supported the nomination and also Northern Beaches Council
who selected me as a worthy recipient! It is an honour!
I have to share this award with Bill, as a double act, all those on the
SIRA Committee with whom I have worked as a team over the years who
have similarly volunteered an enormous amount of time and energy, the
many residents who have contributed to our vibrant, special and unique
community and the efforts of our Western Foreshore neighbours who share
common issues and challenges living offshore.
It is a privilege to have been part of this wonderful community for 40
years!

Garden Waste in Pittwater
Recently we have encountered lots of garden waste tossed into the
Pittwater. Whilst I know it is natural vegetation, large objects such
as palm fronds can be extremely hazardous as they are difficult to see
and can destroy an engine or worse.
Please keep your garden waste in your yard until the green clean-up.
March 27th.
