Neighbourhood safer places

A Neighbourhood Safer Place is a place of last resort when all other bushfire plans have failed. ...

A Neighbourhood Safer Place (also known as a Bushfire Place of Last Resort or NSP-BPLR) is a place of last resort when all other bushfire plans have failed.

What are NSP-BPLRs?

Neighbourhood Safer Places are locations that may provide some protection from direct flame and heat from a fire, but they do not guarantee safety.

Neighbourhood Safer Places are not:

Not an alternative to planning to leave early or to stay and defend your property; they are a place of last resort if all other fire plans have failed.
Not to be confused with Community Fire Refuges, Relief Centres, Recovery Centres or Assembly Areas, each of which have a different and specific purpose.
Not an appropriate destination when leaving the area early.
Not a place of shelter from other types of emergencies (e.g. to escape rising floodwaters or severe weather events).

Many NSP-BPLRs are simply a clearing that provides separation distance from the bushfire hazard (e.g. forest).

More information

You can find more information relating to Neighbourhood Safer Places at CFA.vic.gov.au

Visit the CFA website

Where are NSP-BPLRs?

Manningham’s three NSPs are all outdoor and are located at:

Park Orchards: Domeney Pavilion Verandah, 24-52 Knees Road, Park Orchards
Wonga Park: Dudley Reserve, Dudley Road, Wonga Park
Warrandyte: Skate Park and Basketball Courts, Taroona Avenue, Warrandyte

An NSP is not an Emergency Relief Centre (ERC)

Neighbourhood Safer Places (NSPs) are different from Emergency Relief Centres (ERCs).

In the event of an emergency, Victoria Police may instruct Council to open an ERC situated away from the location of an emergency to provide basic services and support to affected individuals and families.

An NSP does not have the same level of support or provisions or safety as an ERC.

Shifting the Anthropocene: Four Views from the Margins

An exhibition examining the impact of our current epoch through personal and reflective creative acts. ...

This exhibition is no longer showing in the Manningham Art Gallery.

Taking its name from the unofficial description of the present day epoch which has seen human activity dramatically impact the earth's climate and ecology, this exhibition is the expression of four artists' efforts to record, reflect upon and potentially enact change in how humanity views and interacts with the world.

Shifting the Anthropocene features the work of Lesley Duxbury, Ruth Johnstone, Rosie Weiss and Stephen Wickham, who have variously photographed underwater ecosystems and stunning 400 year old eucalypts, and collected and drawn remnants of plants destroyed by bushfire, amongst other creative acts.

The works are descriptions of the immediate and personal effects of climate change as the artists have witnessed them. They also pivot to celebrate instances where individuals and communities have saved endangered species or enacted changes in environment laws through collective effort, thereby giving a hopeful and positive tenor to the exhibition overall.
