    Council has a dedicated Bushfire Recovery Officer, Miranda Hampton. She is working closely with Alex Zimmerman who is the designated State Recovery Coordinator.

    Here's a short message from Miranda: I have been appointed as the Community Recovery Officer for the Cudlee Creek fire. My role is to work closely with the Adelaide Hills Community to develop a recovery plan for the affected townships. I will be reaching out to individuals, community groups and local businesses to ensure the plan addresses the needs of the community. Prior to taking on this role, I was working as a Community Development Officer with the Adelaide Hills Council. I look forward to catching up with some of the groups I have already worked with in my previous role, and to meeting many more people in the weeks to come. If you wish to get in contact you email me at mhampton@ahc.sa.gov.au or phone 0437 123 904.
