This workshop, on March 16, returns to provide practical, easy-to-understand guidance for landowners navigating the challenges of animal mortalities after fires, floods and other emergencies.
Participants will learn about their roles and responsibilities, best‑practice disposal methods, communication requirements with key agencies, and strategies to improve preparedness ahead of future events.
Campaspe Shire Mayor Daniel Mackrell said the return of the workshop reflected the council’s commitment to supporting rural communities before, during and after emergencies.
“We know how challenging emergency events can be for our rural landowners. Having clear information and practical strategies in place before a crisis hits makes an enormous difference to recovery and resilience.
“This workshop has proven valuable in the past, giving landowners the confidence and knowledge to manage livestock losses in a safe, responsible and well‑supported way. I encourage anyone who hasn’t attended before to register,” Cr Mackrell said.
Bookings are essential for this event, with limited spots available.
