Nanango SES has completed the move into its new $160,000 storage shed in Grey Street, with the last items being transferred across at the weekend.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Southern SES Local Controller Arthur Dawson said the new storage shed had room for all the unit’s emergency equipment, vehicles and floodboat.<\/p>\n

The old shed, in George Street, was full of termites and dry rot and was no longer suitable for storing equipment.<\/p>\n

Mr Dawson said the new shed also had another advantage … it won’t be threatened by flood waters.<\/p>\n

“In the 2010-11 and 2013 floods, the waters came up to the old shed,” he said. “We were concerned that if we had a bigger flood, the shed would have been inundated.”<\/p>\n

The State Government and the South Burnett Regional Council assisted with the project, as did generous donations from local businesses.<\/p>\n

The 17m x 11m shed is fully insulated and has been built on Council-owned land.<\/p>\n

Mr Dawson said the SES would be applying for more grants now to build an office on the site as well as extend the fencing.<\/p>\n
