@rikkitweets @FRRR_Oz@ACFinspires There could be economic development rationale to explore potentially, eg if owned by community NFP, deriving income per charge and the reason for installation being bringing tourists/visitors to the region. Similar analogy to funding public toilets so people stop in towns!
FRRR has partnered with @ANZ_AU for another round of the ANZ Seeds of Renewal.

A huge thank you to Sir @eltonofficial! FRRR is sincerely grateful to share in this generous #donation. These funds will make a tangible and lasting difference to communities in their recovery from the #bushfires, as we continue to support them long after the smoke has cleared.
Shane Fitzsimmons, @RFSCommissioner, @NSWRFS, says 2,500 homes have been lost and it’s important to remember all bushfire figures “relate to human stories”. In NSW alone, 25 people have lost their lives. “The toll is enormous. The toll is significant.” #13HELP #134357
None of today would have been possible without the tremendous efforts of these people - @TEGDAINTY's Jared Wright, Sandra Rouse, and of course Geoff Jones 🙌... Shown here with our CEO @negleton and Partnerships and Services Manager @SarMatthee#FireFightAustralia

"Funding needs to be available long after the immediate impact of disasters like #BushFireCrisisAustralia, and it is critical to the recovery process that local communities have control over how they use those funds" - @FRRR_Oz CEO @negleton in our blog this week #philanthropy
Preparing for disaster is critical. It’s why our Disaster Recovery and Resilience Fund will also support emergency plans, + practical training programs like chainsaw handling, mental health first aid and governance for NFP organisations. Donate now: https://t.co/HMWtVMuCkq
With fires in multiple states, our thoughts are with everyone fighting the fires, and those that have lost so much. Recovery will take a long time. FRRR will be there to support affected rural, regional and remote communities.

As devastating #bushfiresAustralia impact so many, a reminder that best way to help is to donate $$ for agencies & local NFP’s to put to best use. Recovery will take many yrs & needs will change @FRRR_Oz @blazeaid @Givit https://t.co/p3JLwtiUZ7
