Ruffy LEAP has been developed as part of the LEAPing into Safer Communities initiative — a collaborative project between Strathbogie Shire Council and Greater Shepparton City Council.
LEAPs (Local Emergency Action Plans) are a local community/individual household approach to emergency preparedness and compliments the other levels of emergency planning in Victoria being Municipal, Regional and State levels.
The LEAP project is a collaboration between Council and the various emergency agencies with the community.
Steering groups will be established in each town with Community meetings arranged to receive on the ground community input and suggestions.
Participating communities within Strathbogie Shire are;
- Avenel
- Euroa
- Nagambie
- Strathbogie
- Violet Town
- Kirwan's Bridge
- Ruffy
- Longwood

https://share.strathbogie.vic.gov.au/download_file/view/2142/601When emergencies occur, local knowledge and experience often make the greatest difference. That’s why the Ruffy Tablelands Steering Group has developed a draft Local Emergency Action Plan (LEAP).
Following a community meeting in October 2025, the Steering Group brought together local insights to create this draft document, which is now available for community review.
The Ruffy LEAP Steering Group welcomes your feedback. If you have suggestions for managing emergencies, please share your comments using the form below to help inform the final version of the plan.
Feedback closes at 5pm on Friday, 3 July 2026.
All submissions will be considered by the Ruffy Tablelands LEAP Steering Group before the plan is finalised and published.
