Adelaide Hills Council News December 2024
On behalf of Elected Members, CEO Greg Georgopoulos and Staff at the Adelaide Hills Council, we wish you all a safe and enjoyable holiday season.
Would you remember a plan that's just in your head if you're surrounded by smoke, heat and flames? Making a choice when a bushfire threatens is too late. Your safety and survival during a bushfire will depend on how prepared you are and the decisions you make, and a written plan will take the pressure off you and avoid arguments and delays. So don't wait - create your 5 Minute Bushfire Plan now for you, your family, and your pets and livestock.
