The petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council the dramatic rise in payments required by ratepayers under the proposed Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund.
The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government to immediately cease the introduction of the Emergency Services and Volunteers Fund, ensure the current Fire Services Property Levy remains in place for the foreseeable future and commit to a genuine consultation process, which includes CFA and SES volunteers, farmers, emergency service workers and other interested parties, to develop a fairer way of funding Victorian emergency services.
