Support us in bushfire recovery.
The January 2026 Longwood bushfire had a profound and lasting impact on the communities of Fawcett and surrounding districts, burning through farmland, bush, and private properties with devastating speed. For many landholders, kilometres of boundary and internal fencing were destroyed alongside pasture, sheds, and stock losses, leaving properties exposed and non-functional overnight. The loss of fencing has created immediate and ongoing challenges: livestock cannot be safely contained, neighbouring properties remain vulnerable to stock movement and biosecurity risks, and the ability to resume agricultural activity has been significantly delayed. In a landscape where farming livelihoods and community stability are closely intertwined, access to fencing materials is a critical foundation for recovery—supporting not only economic repair but also safety, well-being, and the restoration of everyday life after the fire.
Thank you for your continued support.
