The Unit has been co-located with the new Country Fire Authority (CFA) Port Fairy station, was constructed at the former site of Ambulance Victoria.
Funding for the new VICSES Port Fairy facility is part of the Government's High Priority Infrastructure Program and was delivered by the Emergency Services Infrastructure Authority, part of the Community Safety Building Authority.
In collaboration with VICSES, considerable consultation took place with the Port Fairy Unit, as well as the local council, affected parties and the local community (as required), to ensure that the new facility meets the needs of a growing community, now and into the future.
