command experience at officer level since 1959 and as Captain of the

outstanding commitment to the fire service and the local community contributed

scale command and resource management under disaster conditions. Peter has also
served as a CFA representative on the Yarra Ranges Municipal Fire
Prevention Committee for many years which, together with his Fire Brigade
responsibilities, necessitated extensive involvement in the development and
reviews of the Municipal Fire Prevention and Emergency management Plans.
