As part of the Victorian Government's $167.83 million investment in Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) facility infrastructure, a new VICSES Cranbourne Unit was delivered for the local government area of Casey at 1070 Cranbourne Frankston Road, Cranbourne, 3977.
Population growth in Casey is predicted to increase by 63 per cent by 2030, placing increased pressure on surrounding 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 reflects 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, considerable consultation took place with the Cranbourne Unit, 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.
