FAQs - common questions
We are concerned that smoke from a planned burn will affect our health. How do we know exactly when a planned burn will occur?
Residents in close proximity to the planned burn Vegetation Management Unit will be notified by a flyer in your letter box as well as signs at reserve entrances and Council website
Our local Bushland reserve has areas that need fuel reduction burns at the back of our property. How do I find out if a planned fuel reduction burn is scheduled for the reserve?
Each Reserve Bushfire Mitigation Plan has a Vegetation Management Unit (VMU) Treatment Summary. Using the map of the locations for all VMUs in the Reserve and the Treatment Summary the VMU of particular interest to you will indicate whether the area will be burnt, and if so, when.
