Council is seeking funding to build the Resilience and Recovery Centre, and is now preparing an application to the Australian Government’s Disaster Ready Fund – Round 3.
Your feedback and support is crucial to secure funding and complete this vital facility for our community.
About the Mansfield Emergency Resilience and Recovery Centre
The precinct, located at the old saleyards on 166 Maroondah Highway, will become a co-location site for Mansfield’s emergency services, including SES, Ambulance Victoria, CFA, and Mansfield Radio (the emergency broadcaster).
The Resilience and Recovery Centre will be the central hub of the precinct, with the purpose-built facility providing a space for emergency personnel to train, meet and collaborate with other services. This will enable a co-ordinated and integrated approach when delivering emergency support and management and will have a strong focus on building community capacity and resilience, strengthening the community’s preparation and response to and recovery from emergency and disaster situations.
Funds for this high-priority project have already been allocated in Council’s 2023-24 and 2024-25 budgets, with plans to commit further funding in the next four budget cycles (up to 2028-29).
The Resilience Centre has already been designed, and Council will continue to seek external funding opportunities to construct it. The design follows a similar style to the new Mansfield Heritage Museum, a functional modern building that pays homage to Mansfield's country roots.
