Thanks Kate!
In light of the 15th anniversary of the Black Saturday fires in Victoria, I wanted to share what Nillumbik Shire Council does in terms of commemoration.
First and foremost, we are led by the affected communities. There is a memorial site in Strathewen, and the local community has a gathering on every anniversary. The Council doesn’t attend, but it does acknowledge significant anniversaries on our website, newsletter and socials.
The post Council made yesterday acknowledging the fires is here: https://www.nillumbik.vic.gov.au/Council/News-and-publications/Latest-news/A-time-to-reflect-the-2009-Victorian-bushfires
