Free Toilets and Showers
22 Jul 09
Thanks to the generous donations made to the Victorian Bushfire Appeal Fund, free portable toilets and shower units will be available to bushfire affected property owners living in temporary accommodation on their land.
VBRRA will oversee the hire, installation and management of the amenities which will be available to people who are living in temporary accommodation on the property where their principal place of residence was destroyed in the 2009 fires.
Portable single toilet and shower units will be fully installed at no cost to property owners, although the ongoing cost of consumables such as gas refills and water supply will be the responsibility of the property owner.
Grocon, who were contracted by the Victorian and Commonwealth governments to undertake the bushfire clean up, will continue their work in affected communities by assisting with project coordination in the rollout of this initiative.
Grocon and its network of Community Liaison Officers will work with property owners through the next phase of recovery.
Registration
Register now or call the Victorian Bushfire Information Line on 1800 240 667.
If you have registered for the clean up program you can use the same log in details for the toilet and shower scheme. Property owners who did not previously register for clean-up can still register for free toilets and showers.
Those who are eligible for this scheme and have already commissioned toilets or showers are still able to participate. They should register, stating their specific details, and VBRRA will either come to an arrangement with the existing hirer, replace the existing units or assist by providing part or all rental costs.
