These burns form an important part of the Shire's bushfire risk mitigation program, helping to reduce vegetation fuel loads and minimise the potential impact and intensity of future bushfires.
Smoke may be visible during and after burning operations.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to take the following precautions if smoke is affecting their area:
Stay indoors where possible
Keep doors and windows closed
Turn off evaporative air conditioners while smoke is present
Take extra care if you have asthma, respiratory conditions, or other health concerns that may be affected by smoke
If driving in smoky conditions, turn on your headlights, reduce speed, and drive to the conditions
Please note that burn dates and times may change due to weather conditions, fire danger ratings, or operational requirements.
We appreciate the community's understanding and cooperation while these important bushfire risk reduction works are undertaken.
