3 RJ85's, 2 hercs and a B744 for the heavy hitters this year. Along with the usual S-64E's and fly in B212's and 412's

I think the B744 will be a Coulson B733

N744ST has proved herself in recent times in California.

1 RJ85 at Richmond
1 RJ85 at Dubbo
1 B733 at Richmond
1 C130 at Richmond

1 RJ85 at Avalon
1 C130 at Avalon

That is the info I have at hand at the moment.
S-64's yet to be announced, but most likely 2 at Bankstown.

The victorian government have not contracted a VLAT this year, and have put on two C130s going by this announcement

NSW has supposedly got four LATs due by November
