On Saturday January 17, a public meeting is to be held at the Paluma Community Centre at 10am for all ratepayers to discuss the setting of the 2026 fire levy. 

Come along and also find out what the brigade is up to over a cuppa and piece of cake. If there are any queries in the lead up to the meeting, please contact Sonya Bryce, Treasurer / Secretary of Paluma Rural Fire Brigade on (0474) 324153. 

The Annual General Meeting of the Paluma Rural Fire Brigade will follow on from the morning tea for those that are interested.

Time for the briefing on the new Emergency Action Plan has been rescheduled to 5:30 pm in order to allow people west of the Paluma Dam road to get into town (the road is closed until 5 pm). The Tropical BBQ will start immediately after the Briefing.

The briefing will be led by Sonya Bryce and Charlie Allen, who have put many hours into collecting relevant information, procedures and contacts so that we can effectively self-organise if we experience a serious rain event or cyclone in the future. The document will be continuously revised and improved. The current version and relevant appendices can be accessed on Paluma.org here.

A briefing on the current Disaster Management Plan for all residents of Paluma Village, neighbouring residential areas and Hidden Valley residents will be presented on Saturday December 13th at 5pm by the SES and RFS.

This will be followed by our annual Tropical Xmas BBQ at 6pm. Bring along whatever you wish to cook on the bbq and a side or dessert to share.

The PDCA will have a few sausages and onions on the BBQ. The bar will be open of course. It is time to kick back and welcome in the silly season and listen to some great live music by the talented Stefan Mussap.
