Members of Wyong Men’s Shed have designed and created a delightful interactive educational scale model of a State Emergency Services (SES) rescue vehicle.
Wyong SES Unit Commander Matt Le Clercq praised members of the Men’s Shed for their creative skills in designing and building the children’s version of the SES Light Storm Vehicle.
“Their attention to detail is amazing,” he said.
“This will be a real asset to local SES units across the Central Coast, particularly during various show days which help raise community awareness of the importance in education and preparation for residents and businesses before flood and storm events, as well as the available services during or after a natural disaster.
“Thanks also for the enormous local support to help bring this idea to life, with donation of materials and funds – Bunnings, Northlakes Toukley Rotary and staff at Gorokan High School.”
A public unveiling of the magnificent vehicle will take place at this year’s free family event at Bunnings Tuggerah’s Easter Bunny Hop barbecue to be held on Thursday, March 30, from 6pm to 8pm.
There will be Easter eggs for children, photos with the SES mascot Paddy Platypus, a jumping castle, Easter crafts, face painting and much more.
