Local organisations, businesses and community groups can now apply to become a stallholder at Council's Community Bushfire Expo.
Held on Sunday 5 October at Hurstbridge Hub, the expo is a free, family-friendly event designed to help residents prepare for the bushfire season.
The Shire-wide initiative brings together residents, emergency services, community groups, and local businesses to build awareness and resilience ahead of bushfire season.
It also offers a valuable opportunity for stallholders to connect with a broad local audience, showcase their expertise in bushfire safety and preparedness, and promote their services to an engaged and relevant audience.
By taking part, exhibitors support a vital annual event that fosters long-term bushfire education and strengthens partnerships across Nillumbik.
Expressions of Interest (EOIs) for stallholders are now open and will close on Sunday 13 July. Please note: an EOI does not guarantee you a stall on the day. Successful stallholders will be informed soon after the EOI close date.
Stallholders with a focus on bushfire safety, emergency management or community wellbeing are encouraged to apply, along with food vendors and local businesses who can contribute to the family friendly atmosphere on the day.
Mayor John Dumaresq said the expo provides an opportunity to bring the community together.
"The Community Bushfire Expo isn't just about information – it's about empowering our community and sharing knowledge, building resilience, and preparing for bushfire season," Cr Dumaresq said.
"By participating as a stallholder, you're not just showcasing your services, you're playing a role in protecting our community."
There is no cost for a stall.
