Abstract
Eight years on and disaster has struck again in what will come to be known as the Ash Friday Bushfires. One of the most severely affected areas is once again the small popular tourist town of Marysville in Central Victoria, who many will remember as one of the worst affected areas in the Black Saturday Bushfires in 2009. After extensive in-depth analysis, the CALM Design team has come to find systemic failures within the existing post-disaster strategy as it was employed by the Victorian Government and as such are looking to propose a new more efficient, more resilient strategy for the regional centre, that will also foster a long-term, sustainable future for the community.
