CFA's recently appointed chief officer Jason Heffernan will visit Wangaratta on May 5, meeting with district staff and brigade leaders.

Mr Heffernan took over as chief officer in late November last year, and embarked on a regional tour in December to gain members feedback and how the organisation can improve.

CFA District 23 acting assistant chief fire officer, Rod Railton, said Mr Heffernan would have a short stay in Wangaratta as part of his busy schedule.

"He'll meet with our staff at the office here and there will also be an opportunity for a dinner to meet with local brigade captains and group officers," Mr Railton said.

"He'll be here in the afternoon, but he's not going to have an opportunity to tour around the whole district.

"We'll take the opportunity to get some people to meet him.

"He's just coming to meet and greet, he's brand new to the job and it's just to let us know who he is, what he stands for and his vision moving forward for the organisation."

Mr Railton said it would also be an opportunity for members to discuss with the chief officer about last year's fire services reform, which saw CFA become a volunteer only organisation, and any other questions they may have.

"He'll start his tour in District 12 (Seymour) then go to District 22 (Shepparton), and then District 23 and he'll move onto District 24 (Wodonga) the next day," he said.

"I had the opportunity the last couple days to spend some time with him; it'll be really good for the rest of our staff to see him.

"Being stuck in Melbourne, we don’t get to see our chief that often, so it's a great opportunity."
