A busy afternoon for our volunteers

29/05/2026

With rainfall expected in parts of the State over the weekend, clean your gutters and drains to prevent blockages.

Blocked gutters can cause water to overflow into your roof, walls, and foundations—leading too costly damage and localised flooding around your home.
Clear gutters, downpipes and drains to prevent water damage to your home or property.

✅Remove leaves and debris
✅Check downpipes are flowing freely
✅Do it safely, or ask for help if needed

A little preparation now can prevent big problems later. Let’s all do our part to stay safe and protect our homes.
