Horsham Apex Club 15 – Apex Adventure Island Shelters Project

Horsham Apex Club 15 is proposing upgrades to Apex Adventure Island. Our project involves planning, procurement, and installation of three shade shelters, each equipped with a picnic table, to improve the island for all community members.

Positioned strategically alongside the existing barbecue facilities and adjacent to the Wimmera Catchment Management Authority’s (CMA) planned riverfront pathways, these structures will provide much-needed weather protection, shade, and seating for families, birthday parties, and river walk visitors. By improving comfort and accessibility, this project turns a popular playground hub into an all-weather community meeting space for locals and visitors alike.

Horsham Apex Club 15 have received letters of support for the project from Wimmera Catchment Management Authority and Horsham Rural City Council.

Horsham Group Fire Brigades – Forward Command Vehicle

Horsham Group – Responsible for 5 Fire Brigades within the Horsham Response Boundary, desperately seeks its own Forward Command Vehicle. The Horsham Fire Brigade Group supports a large and diverse response area that includes urban, rural and remote communities. Emergency incidents within the region regularly involve complex bushfires, grass and scrub fires, road rescue operations, hazardous materials incidents, severe weather events and multi-agency emergency responses. Effective incident management is critical to ensuring community safety and firefighter welfare. Currently, the Group borrow the Horsham Fire Brigade-owned Forward Command Vehicle when available (however, this is now often utilised to assist in First Medical Response to the Community), leaving Horsham Fire Brigade Group more vulnerable to Forward Command firefighting efforts on extreme weather days. Horsham Group is the only Group within the district that does not have a Forward Command Vehicle.
