Sandy’s efforts have continued to ensure a new fire rating sign is allocated to our hinterland, with confirmation received in February 2025 that installation of a sign in Pomona would occur within the 2025 calendar year.
We recently requested an update on progress from the Minister for Fire, who responded with the following in italics. It outlines that the installation application was approved on 12 May 2025 and they are finalising planning with the contracted company.
The consultation has been completed for AFDRS sign 218 at Pomona.
On 24 April 2025, the installation application was submitted to Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) North Coast Region for assessment and was approved on 12 May 2025.
RFSQ are undertaking planning with the contracted company to plan installations in this area.
Our office will continue to monitor this and provide updates as more information becomes available.
