Dear Mr Cuff

I was most interested to hear of your plans for the construction of the new project you propose to construct in the Scenic Rim at Canungra, The Canungra Emergency Research and Educational Facility (CEREF) to be positioned on the 50 acres you have purchased next door to the township offers a very accessible venue for a training facility. The vaned terrain on your property will expose participants

to a large rang of differing environments and so enhance the programmes offered at the proposed training facility to make the whole experience very well worthwhile.

There is no doubt that a facility such as you propose would be of enormous benefit to not only the Emergency Services Workforce on all levels, the Australian Defence Force and all other volunteer organisation as well as offering youth organisations such as the Junior SES, Scouts and Guides real time/real life experiences in emergency response and management. Large companies who also need to offer their staff real the scenarios for Vertical and Tower Rescue, Road Crash situations, Hazmat, Mines Rescue and Plane Crash rescue as well as the myriad of other emergency situations we Australians find ourselves faced with, would, Tam sure be pleased to utilise the programmes.

I think your plan to have onsite accommodation is worthy. Living onsite will enable participants to really immerse themselves in the very intensive programe such as you are planning.

Tam pleased to write this letter in support of your proposal and would like to be kept appraised of your progress with your venture.

Yours sincerely.
