Hazard Reduction Burns – May to October 2025
Council undertakes hazard reduction burns throughout the dry season each year as part of Council’s Bushfire Management Plan, to prevent the spread of bushfire and protect lives, property and infrastructure. These controlled burns reduce the build-up of flammable fuel loads such as leaf litter, grasses and shrubs.
A series of hazard reduction burns will take place across the city between May and October, as outlined below. Please note that all burns are subject to weather conditions.
