June 29th, 2024New station opens for Mt Macedon fire brigade

Mt Macedon Fire Brigade members have celebrated the official opening of their new fire station in recent days.

The local community gathered last Friday, June 21, to mark the special occasion including CFA Chief Officer Jason Heffernan, the Hon. Mary-Anne Thomas MP and Mt Macedon Captain Tim Slattery.  

The $4.04 million state-of-the-art station located on Mt Macedon Road has replaced the brigade’s 42-year-old station. 

CFA Chief Officer Jason Heffernan said the new station will provide modern facilities and features designed to improve service to the community. 

“The new station features a three-bay drive through motor room capable of storing modern firefighting vehicles,” Jason said. 

“It also has a rear training yard, a hose drying tower, male and female turnout facilities, a workshop, a brigade office and communications room, a multi-purpose training room and kitchen. 

“The station is a much larger facility for the brigade and its local community to utilise for many years to come.” 

Mt Macedon Captain Tim Slattery says brigade members are very pleased with their new home.
