Hi Andrew In Vic these are only used as a last resort. Not sure if 'assembly point' translates to 'only come here if there are absolutely no other options, and this place might not be safe anyway'.
See: https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/neighbourhood-safer-places There are also community fire refuges: https://www.cfa.vic.gov.au/plan-prepare/community-fire-refuges/ ...my reading there is also 'try really hard not to come here, but if there's nothing else then turn up'. Could we add a 'place of last resort' tag? Relief centres, eg: https://www.eastgippsland.vic.gov.au/Council/News_and_Media_Releases/Emergency_Relief_Centres https://www.wangaratta.vic.gov.au/emergency/relief-and-recovery ...seem to be council operated... It seems that 'neighbourhood safer places' means something different across borders. Can anyone in emergency services comment?
