To help keep the community informed following recent bird deaths from the H5 bird flu virus, Eurobodalla Council has partnered with the NSW Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development to host a free information session.
Attendees will hear directly from NSW DPIRD, NSW Health, National Parks and Wildlife Service and Local Land Services about the current situation and response underway, public health considerations, and practical steps they can take to reduce the impact and spread of H5 bird flu.
The event will be held at the Moruya Golf Club on Monday 28 September, 6-7.30pm, with opportunities to ask questions and discuss concerns with agency representatives.
Residents, local businesses, oyster growers, aquaculture and tourism operators, recreational and commercial fishers, wildlife carers, environmental groups, community organisations, and anyone seeking information about H5 bird flu are encouraged to attend.
