RFS facilities at Tumut and Hawkesbury will both receive $8 million to construct new facilities.

Minister for Emergency Services and Resilience Steph Cooke made the announcement at the existing RFS station on Campbell Street in Moruya.

"Our volunteers have continued to turn up day in day out," Ms Cooke said. "It's time we really step up to make sure they have the facilities, the equipment, the vehicles and everything they need to continue doing the job they do so well and that we are so reliant on them to do."

The new Moruya hub will be bigger than the standard fire control centres to be build at Tumut and Hawkesbury, will host over 60 RFS staff, and "consolidate the presence of emergency services" according to RFS Commissioner Rob Rogers.

"We saw how the local people [operated in the existing station] - the local emergency services, the RFS, the council, the police, fire, rescue, SES and everybody else that worked here, and how inadequate it was during the fires," Mr Rogers said.

"We need to learn from fire seasons that we went through to make sure the next time something like that happens - because inevitably it will happen again - we're ready and we're in a better shape to deal with it.

"This was absolutely the RFS's priority to get this area [Moruya] done.

"Our existing Fire Control Centres at Moruya, Tumut and Hawkesbury are long past their use-by dates. The development of a new centre answers one of the vital priorities identified in the NSW Bushfire Inquiry."

Moruya receives just under half of the $31 million announcement, and Mr Rogers said this was because the site at Moruya would be a community hub - beyond regular fire control centres.

Ms Cooke said this money allocated included extra funding to acquire land for the Moruya facility.

"The dollars that have been asked for and allocated have been from RFS," Mr Rogers said. "We are the ones that have said 'this is how much money we need to do this site.'"

"This is the NSW Government acting on the recommendations of the bushfire inquiry to upgrade or re-develop 13 Fire Control Centers right across New South Wales," Ms Cooke said.

Former state member for Bega Andrew Constance said he was excited by the opportunity to integrate the emergency management office - regardless of the type of disaster - through to fire command.

"That is something which is going to be of enormous benefit for the community," Mr Constance said.

Ms Cooke said RFS and council must work together to identify the right site location, and then building could commence immediately.

"Build time itself is usually 18 months to two years," she said.

Mr Rogers said council would decide what to do with the existing RFS building in Moruya.

RFS faciltiies at Mudgee and Armidale have previously benefitted from similar investments, and are already under construction.

It is the third announcement of increased NSW Government funds into the Eurobodalla since January 21, with announcements of the Batemans Bay HealthOne Facility and extended flood recovery grants to small businesses and not-for-profits.
