Noosa Council has paid tribute to the State Emergency Service (SES) as the organisation celebrates its 50th anniversary, acknowledging the vital role SES volunteers play in keeping communities safe during disasters.
Mayor Frank Wilkie said the milestone was an opportunity to recognise the selflessness and dedication of SES members across Queensland and locally.
“The SES plays an extraordinary role in helping keep the Noosa Shire safe during natural disasters. Their dedication, skill and willingness to step up in times of need is something our entire community deeply values,” Mayor Wilkie said.
“Council is proud to work alongside the SES and other emergency services to strengthen disaster resilience and ensure the safety of our residents.
“On behalf of our community, thank you for generously giving your time and talents to protect us at our most vulnerable. Your work during floods, storms and everything in between is invaluable.”
Mayor Wilkie said Council greatly values its strong partnership with the SES and other emergency services.
“Under the leadership of Noosa SES Local Controller Warren Kuskopf and North Coast Regional Controller Jason Pascoe, our disaster resilience team continues to build on a terrific relationship with SES,” Mayor Wilkie said.
“Whether it’s engaging with schools, aged care facilities or responding in the middle of an event, the SES team is always there with a ‘can do’ attitude.”
Council congratulates all SES volunteers on this significant milestone and looks forward to continuing its close collaboration to strengthen Noosa’s disaster resilience.
