As part of the Victorian Government's $125 million investment in Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) facility infrastructure, a new VICSES Craigieburn North/Kalkallo Unit will be delivered for the local government area of Hume. 

Population growth is predicted to increase in Hume by 64 per cent by 2030, placing increased pressure on local VICSES units to respond effectively to the local community and continue to assist Victoria Police, Ambulance Victoria and fire services throughout the state.

The new fit-for-purpose facility will reflect VICSES' commitment and dedication to the local community and enable an expansion of local services, while supporting the retention and recruitment of new volunteers.

In collaboration with VICSES, we are undertaking considerable consultation with surrounding units, as well as the local council, affected parties and the local community (as required), to ensure the new location meets the needs of a growing community, now and into the future.
