Decommissioning of Neighbourhood Safer Place- Place of Last Resort_ Eltham Lower Park

This is to advise you that the Neighbourhood Safer Place- Place of Last Resort (NSP-PLR) at Eltham Lower Park has been assessed by CFA as not meeting the Fire Rating Criteria.

In accordance with Section 50J(4) of the Country Fire Authority Act the NSP-PLR must now be decommissioned.

Eltham Lower Park will no longer be listed on the CFA or Council web site as a NSP-PLR. Signage at the site will be removed.

CFA is preparing a report to advise council of what action would be required for the site to meet the Fire Rating Criteria.

Council has requested CFA to conduct an assessment of the club house at Eltham Lower Park to determine if that building does or can be made to meet the Fire Rating Criteria.

Alternative options for an NSP-PLR in this area will be explored.
