The LEAPing into Resilience project is a joint initiative between Mansfield, Strathbogie and Murrindindi Shire Councils, funded by the Australian Government.

Participating communities within Strathbogie Shire are;

  • Avenel
  • Euroa
  • Nagambie
  • Strathbogie

LEAPs 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.
