State Emergency Service Bannockburn unit
Chris COUZENS (Geelong) (13:18): I was pleased to join the Minister for Emergency Services to announce that the growing Bannockburn community will be better protected with a brand new Victoria State Emergency Service headquarters thanks to the Allan Labor government. We were joined by excited volunteers to announce the site of the new VICSES Bannockburn unit and thank members for their hard work. The new site will feature dedicated training spaces and wellbeing areas. It will also provide better onsite storage for vehicles and equipment, which will go a long way in helping them respond to emergencies and attract more volunteers. As part of the modernising of facilities, the unit will feature environmentally sustainable materials, including solar panels and water recycling.
