Granite Borders Landcare Committee and Mingoola Hall Management Committee Inc. and others are delivering the Fire to Flourish project "Farm Gate".

Farm Gate is a free signage program for property owners across Tenterfield Shire to assist Emergency Services to contact landholders in any emergency particularly bush fire.

This project aims to protect lives, assets and the natural environment through better fire and other emergency response. In addition, having your own farm gate sign with emergency information will improve communication between neighbours on properties.

What does it involve? Supply of durable metal Farm Gate signs (300mm to 450mm height x 600mm length) to be attached to main property entrance in order to help direct emergency services. Landholders are to affix the sign themselves, however, they will be made to order for each property. The signs (Example attached) will include the following;

- Property Name / Address

- Owner Name (Optional)

- Contact Number &/or

- UHF Radio Contact

- Static Water Supply (if available)

Who is eligible?

The target group are larger landholders or property owners in areas around Tenterfield that have little to no network coverage. For example:

1. Mingoola

2. Sunnyside

3. Liston

4. Bolivia

However, it is open to anyone who owns a property and has low signal coverage or reception. First to order signs gets them, with up to two signs per property owner. Additional signs can be ordered at the property owners' expense and they can use the sign template. 

Future workshops at the above locations will be organised for sign pick-ups, once you have ordered yours.

Please order your sign using the following link or QR code. You may also call the Landcare Office on: (02) 6736 3500 (Wednesday to Friday, 9am - 12pm only). 

Orders will close when all have been sold or by Friday 15th August 2025 (whichever comes sooner)!
