SES Storage and training facility

This project is to provide the local Bacchus Marsh SES with a storage and training facility to meet the increased demand required for this emergency service.
At present the facility is located in Gisborne Road adjacent to APCO fuel and car wash facility. This creates many problems as vehicles are brought in from wreckers and cut up with the Jaws of Life for training purposes in a very restricted and heavy traffic area. In addition , when emergencies occur, members have limited car parking, access, and emergency vehicles are impacted by the heavy traffic when exiting the site.

A major benefit will be faster response times and possible life saving outcomes in our community. Community involvement and safety are major aims of this project. This new SES facility would store emergency vehicles and provide significant parking as well as room to conduct extensive training programs. It is envisaged a considerable increase in activities will be encountered by the SES as the current population within the region expands. This region covers all of Moorabool shire. It also offers better access to members living in West Maddingley, Darley and Coimadai. It will result in increased membership and service.
