Whilst fuel costs should be investigated I believe the Council should be calling for improved Emergency response services as people don’t die as the result of paying more for fuel.
People have died more than likely as the result of waiting too long for an Ambulance due to the fact that Colac has only one available Ambulance to service 20,000 people over a 4,000 square Km area, The Colac Ambulance Catchment Area .
CosWEcount! Inc. continue to advocate for more resources and have a petition in 14 shops in Colac, Berrigurra and Cororrooke along with an online one on CosWecount! Inc. on face book:
CosWEcount! Inc. Caim/s / Petition:
We the undersigned call on the Victorian Government to initiate the following Improvements:
1, Victoria Statewide Hospital / Ambulance Non Emergency Patient transfer [NEPT} fund to be established specifically dedicated to providing that service, to ensure that local Ambulance services remain available at all times for Emergency response situations.
2, Country Fire Authority [CFA] to be made available to call out as first responders to resuscitate, provide pain relief and stabilise patients in Emergency situations until an Ambulance arrives.
3, Colac Ambulance service to be resourced to ensure that at least two [2] local Ambulances are available at all times for Emergency response situations.

It is ridiculous, I drive to Geelong every weekday to work in a petrol station, About two weeks ago the petrol in Geelong was 14.1 cents cheaper than Colac petrol stations. And I also know the cost of the delivery of fuel to Colac is defiantly not that much higher than it is for a delivery to Geelong. Very greedy owners I say!
