Mount Alexander Shire Council Bushfire Recovery Team hubs

Council has set up a recovery team to support the community recovery activities. 

We are based in the Castlemaine Tafe building, 65 Templeton Street and you are welcome to make an appointment to come and see us on Tuesdays between 10:00am-2:00pm.    

To connect with the recovery team call 03 5471 1752 or email bushfirerecoverygroup@mountalexander.vic.gov.au to secure a visit.

We will also be co-locating at the Harcourt Valley Heritage Museum once we ascertain the right times/days of the week that will suit the community.  Keep your eye on this page for updates or subscribe to the Fire Recovery Update.

We will welcome community members to those spaces to:

  • come and collect information
  • register to attend events, workshops or training sessions
  • enquire about potential funding for recovery and resilience initiatives and ideas
  • provide feedback
  • seek help from other council departments involved in supporting returning to home, work, hobbies, school and health
  • or just come and have a chat

We will also be joined onsite by the Anglicare case managers so you can arrange to visit them too!
