Dolphin Sands Community Association

TFS have updated their Community Bushfire Protection Plans.

A new feature is the QR code. Scanning the code links you to a lot of useful information, including alerts, fire bans, weather forecast and more.

 

We'll put some hard copies in our information box in the pull off area near the beginning of the road. You can also download a copy from the TFS website: https://www.fire.tas.gov.au/.../pro.../P_S_Dolphin_Sands.pdf

Sincere thanks to Brierley Industrial for offering generous discounts on fire-fighting equipment to the Dolphin Sands community.

​​

We're pleased to announce that our Disaster Ready Fund grant application from NEMA, funded by the Commonwealth Government, was successful.

We applied for $125 000 to support Council to purchase an industrial-scale chipper/shredder. The aim is to reduce the risk of bushfire by supporting strategic green waste clearing without the need for burning. 

Council have committed to provide Dolphin Sands residents green waste chipping twice per calendar year, as well as two free green waste weekends per year at the local waste transfer station.

Contact us if you'd like your mobile number added to the DSCA's emergency messaging service. 

​

We also recommend downloading the Tas Alerts app and setting your location to Dolphin Sands.​

​

Community AEDs have been installed at three locations in Dolphin Sands.

In an emergency, please call 000 for advice.
