60% of brigades in Queensland are PPB’s.
Over the years the RFBAQ has supplied many grants for handheld CB radios to brigades across the state. While radios for truck brigades have been supplied free of charge by RFSQ, radios for PPB’s were at the discretion of the local RFSQ Inspector, budget permitting.
After persistent advocacy from the RFBAQ, portable handheld CB UHF radios are now available free of charge to Primary Producer Brigades from RFSQ.
To apply contact your local RFSQ Area Office.
