As part of the Victorian Government's $167.83 million investment in Victoria State Emergency Service (VICSES) facility infrastructure, a new VICSES Point Cook Unit was delivered for the local government area of Wyndham.
Population growth in Wyndham is predicted to increase by 110 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 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 Point Cook Unit, as well as the local council, affected parties and the local community (as required), to ensure that the new location meets the needs of a growing community, now and into the future.
