  term loan and must be signed for and returned on completion of the project or group finishing.

  4.3     Reactive Work

  Occasionally reactive work is needed that cannot be planned for, such as chain sawing fallen or
  hazardous branches on access paths after a storm. If you become aware of a reactive issue, please
  raise  a customer request by contacting      Councils Customer Service     on  5329 6500 or
                          This ensures the job is recorded, you receive a reference number and also
  that it is actioned appropriately. Where the issue affects the planned volunteering activity or site,
  isolate the hazard and undertake suitable alternative activities.

  4.4     Ordering Materials
  Where it is identified in the approved 12-month Activity Plan, Council will provide trees, stakes, mulch
  and other similar resources. Please order any of these supplies through Council at least two weeks
  prior to your working bee. Council can provide advice on suitable species selection based on the
  Regional Ecosystem, plant numbers and mulch as needed. When ordering, please be specific about
  delivery location and quantity.
