Extra support for mothers experiencing initial difficulties in their child’s first weeks and throughout their breastfeeding experience is offered by lactation consultants at a breastfeeding support session. The Breastfeeding Support Service does not require an appointment, with the clinic open every Tuesday from 1.30pm-4pm at the Woodend Maternal and Child Health Centre, 49 Forest Street Woodend (located with Cobaw Community Health). Local mum Bonnie Pearson utilised the service following the birth of her twin daughters, Leni and Miida Shpayzer (pictured), and found the experience overwhelmingly positive. “We came down on a couple of Tuesday’s and spent some time here”, she said. “Andrea (MCH nurse) has checked how the girls were latching, and talked through their growth spurts…she’s been really helpful. I’ve got friends that live in Melbourne and the city that have no support, so it’s pretty amazing to have that here”.

Here are our top tips for preparing your property: ? slash grass and keep it under 75mm ? rake up and remove dry grass, leaves, twigs and loose bark (also called fine fuels) ? remove any rubbish or material that is likely to cause, maintain or promote a fire ? store flammable liquids well away from the house ? store woodpiles away from the house ? place metal flyscreens or window shutters over windows ? keep gutters clean of fine fuels ? remove all noxious weeds from your property ? face your LPG cylinders vent-pipe away from the house and store securely in an upright position ? prepare your bushfire survival plan. You can also follow the step-by-step guide to protecting your home from fire by downloading the CFA Fire Ready Kit from cfa..au For more information, visit mrsc..au/fire-ready or call 5422 0333. Fire ready property inspectionsPreventing fires is everyone’s responsibility and a well maintained property will help reduce the risk of fire to local communities. From October, fire management officers will begin annual property inspections to ensure properties do not present a fire risk over the summer. If a property is identified as a fire hazard, we will issue a fire prevention notice. If the notice is not complied with, we will be forced to complete the work required and the property owner will be charged with associated costs, in addition to a $1,612 fine.Roadsides and fire risk Did you know that each year we slash around 1,000km of roadsides for fire prevention? Fires start on roadsides due to hot vehicle exhausts, mechanical failures and collisions. We slash high use roadsides to reduce the chances of these incidents resulting in a fire. Typically 80 per cent of traffic uses 20 per cent of our roads, so it makes sense to slash those roads as a priority. Note: slashed roadsides are not effective firebreaks, particularly in extreme conditions and high winds. The best way to protect your home is to maintain your property and leave early, long before flames are visible. Slashing your roadside is not an effective way to reduce fire risk to your property.Baling for hay and fire prevention Each year we receive enquiries from residents who have received a fire prevention notice and are baling for hay. If you are planning on baling, it’s important that you make contact with our fire management officers prior to the due date on your notice to advise them. You must complete an application for extension which will give you extra time for the works to be carried out.

Sustainable design is an approach to building or renovating that considers elements such as orientation, thermal mass, cross-ventilation, better insulation, external shading and window placement as key factors in helping to reduce a building’s reliance on natural resources. Advisory service We’re trialling a new, free sustainable design advisory service, where feedback from a qualified sustainable building design officer is offered to home-owners planning to build or renovate. To book an appointment, contact Felicity Houghton on fhoughton@mrsc..au or call 5421 0829.
