A local reference group established to ensure a co-ordinated response to potential legacy contamination at the Country Fire Authority’s (CFA) Wangaratta training facility has advised that the facility will remain open and it is business as usual.
Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) and CFA are working closely with the reference group, which also has representatives from Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP); Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), North East Catchment Management Authority, Rural City of Wangaratta, Goulburn Murray Water and North East Water.
The reference group will provide further updates to the local community as new information arises.
