Emergency management for the Great Southern.
Forest and farmland that carry fire, weather that comes straight off the Southern Ocean, and a regional city and port at Albany.
What makes the Great Southern different.
The Great Southern combines a regional city and working port at Albany with broadacre agriculture, blue gum plantations, native forest and a tourism economy built around the coast and the ranges. Bushfire runs through both forest and farmland, Southern Ocean systems bring damaging wind and rain, and the region’s towns and shires are spread across a large area.
Resolve works with Great Southern local governments and operators on bushfire arrangements that cover forest and farm, Local Emergency Management Arrangements that hold across a spread-out district, and exercises that test coordination before a bad season.
The hazards we build for in the Great Southern.
Forest and farmland fire
High-intensity fire in native forest and plantation, and fast-moving fire through crop and grassland.
Southern Ocean weather
Severe fronts bringing damaging wind, heavy rain, localised flooding and extended outages.
Spread-out districts
Towns, brigades and resources separated by distance, needing arrangements that work across boundaries.
Port and industry at Albany
Concentrated bulk handling, transport and industrial exposure alongside a growing regional centre.
On site where it matters. Remote where it makes sense.
We mobilise to the Great Southern for LEMC workshops, exercises and site work, and run document review and development remotely. Engagements are scoped around the committee cycle and Council reporting.
Sectors we support
- Agriculture and livestock
- Forestry and plantations
- Port and logistics
- Tourism
- Local government
- Fishing
The work that carries the most weight in this region.
Resolve works with Great Southern local governments and operators on bushfire readiness and emergency management arrangements built for forest, farm and coast.
Great Southern, answered.
Can Resolve develop bushfire arrangements that cover both forest and farmland?
Yes. We develop Bushfire Management Plans, trigger frameworks and response exercising that account for native forest, plantation and agricultural fire behaviour across the region.
Bushfire ManagementDo you review LEMA and facilitate LEMCs in the Great Southern?
Yes. We review Local Emergency Management Arrangements against current WA guidance and the reality of the district, run the LEMC engagement, and provide Council-ready documentation and a maintainable improvement plan.
LEMA & LEMC SupportCan you run a multi-agency exercise for a Great Southern district?
Yes. We design and facilitate exercises that test coordination between local governments, control agencies and operators, focused on the decisions and handovers that matter.
