Preparing Central Tilba village

Central Tilba is a unique National Trust village that simply cannot be replicated if it were to be destroyed by a natural disaster such as a bushfire.

Following the bushfires of 2019-20, the Tilba Chamber worked with Eurobodalla Shire Council, the RFS, NPWS and Minderoo Foundation (a grant provider) to appoint Susan Courtney, who is a bushfire expert with EcoLogical Australia, to help Central Tilba village prepare for any future bushfires.

During 2023, EcoLogical prepared a Central Tilba Bushfire Resilience Plan and also prepared individual property plans for those businesses and residents in the village who wanted to be involved.

A committee has been formed to work with Susan Courtney from EcoLogical to implement the village plan, using funding provided by Minderoo Foundation.
