The Hepburn Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committee (MEMPC) is seeking expressions of interest from community members to join the committee in a voluntary capacity.

The MEMPC is made up of representatives from government and non-government emergency response and recovery agencies and works to integrate resources to prevent, mitigate, respond to, and recover from emergencies in the Hepburn region. The MEMPC plans for a range of emergencies that may occur within Hepburn Shire and is responsible for the preparation of the Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP).

Community representatives will serve a term of 2 years on the MEMPC and will be expected to attend 4 meetings per year. Meetings take place in Daylesford or Clunes on a Thursday morning each quarter.

Expressions of interest will be assessed against the following criteria by a panel of current MEMPC representatives:

  • An understanding of Hepburn Shire’s diverse communities and the risks they face
  • Demonstrated community links
  • Knowledge of Victorian emergency management arrangements
  • Strong interpersonal skills
  • Stakeholder management experience
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Ability to provide community perspective over personal perspective

Expressions of interest should be a one-page statement outlining your interest in the position and the attributes you would bring to the role. Expressions will close on Friday 14th March and can be forwarded to Kylie Richardson, Emergency Management Officer at krichardson@hepburn.vic.gov.au or PO Box 21, Daylesford, 3460.
