Fire Season is Approaching

Published on Friday, 30 October 2020 at 8:41:00 AM

The Shire “Firebreak & Fuel Hazard Reduction Notice” was sent to property owners recently.  It is important we all ensure our properties comply with the requirements detailed in the Notice for the time period 15 November 2020 – 10 May 2021. 

Ranger inspections to ensure compliance will occur during this time.  To avoid fines, and to ensure your individual (and our collective) safety please be prepared and be responsible. 

Specific requirements vary depending on the size and use of your land.  You can view the Notice here to learn more about your property requirements. Owners of non-compliant properties will receive Bush Fire Work Orders or Infringements.

For information regarding the Firebreak and Fuel Hazard Reduction Notice, contact the Shire Ranger via email or call 9761-0800. If you are interested in joining your local Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade, contact the Fire Control Officer for your area.  You can view a list of Fire Control Officers here.  You can also contact or the Shire's Community Emergency Services Manager email or mobile 0428-611-125.
