The NSW State Emergency Service’s (SES) Cowra Unit is delighted to take ownership of a new General Purpose Trailer to bolster their operational efficiency in storms and floods.

Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke handed over the keys of the trailer to volunteers at a ceremony held today.

“Following prolonged rain and flooding across the State, this trailer is a welcome addition to ensure our volunteers are well-equipped to respond to any emergencies or requests for assistance,” Ms Cooke said.

“The trailer will provide a much-needed boost in transporting items such as sandbags, tools, water, food and medicines to communities across the Central West.”

Valued at approximately $10,200, the trailer is the newest asset to the SES’ fleet through the Fleet Replacement Program.

Commander of the Cowra SES Unit Raymond Johnston said volunteers will utilise the trail-er in their everyday operations.

“This addition to our resources with its increased payload will make a vast difference to our members’ response times,” Mr Johnston said.

“We will be able to respond to multiple requests for assistance without having to return to reload between tasks.”
