Neighbourhood Safer Place - Bushfire Place of Last Resort

A Neighbourhood Safer Place - Bushfire Place of Last Resort (NSP-BPLR) is not a community fire refuge or emergency relief centre. Places of Last Resort are just that - places of last resort during the passage of a bushfire and are intended to be used by persons whose primary bushfire plans have failed.

A NSP-BPLR is a place of relative safety only. They do not guarantee the survival of those who assemble there – you may be exposed to smoke, heat and ember attack at a NSP-BPLR. There may also be serious risks to safety encountered in travelling to an NSP-BPLR during a bushfire.

Depending on the position and direction of a bushfire, a designated NSP-BPLR may not be safer than other locations within the area. 

These are the following designated NSP-BPLRs within Murrindindi Shire:

Town	Address
Alexandra	Leckie Park Cricket Oval, Vickery Street
Eildon	Basketball Court, Corner Main Street and Centre Avenue
