Local Emergency Action Plans (LEAPs)

The LEAPing into Resilience project is currently taking place. It is a joint initiative between Murrindindi, Mansfield, and Strathbogie Shire Councils, funded by the Australian Government. The project engages with communities across the three municipalities, to develop a Local Emergency Action Plan (LEAP) in several communities in each shire.

The LEAPing into Resilience project aims to build the resilience of small communities to withstand the impacts of natural disasters by creating a comprehensive LEAP.

The LEAPing into Resilience project utilises a community development approach, emphasising the importance of local knowledge, skills, resources and culture for emergency preparedness, while collaborating with various local emergency agencies.

Once finalised, the LEAPs will compliment other levels of emergency planning, at the municipal, regional and state levels.

 LEAPs are currently being developed, or have been developed in the following participating communities within Murrindindi Shire:
