Fire Control
Council has distributed a Fire Management Requirements 2019 - 2020 booklet to all ratepayers. It is important that owners and/or occupiers of land in the Shire comply with the requirements of the firebreak notice. Severe penalties apply for non-compliance.
Property owners are advised to consider early spraying and burning of blocks. This will greatly reduce problems which may arise during the restricted and prohibited burning times.
The periods for 2019/2020 are as follows:
Restricted Burning Time
October 1st – October 31st 2018
March 15th 2019 – April 30th 2019
Prohibited Burning Time
November 1st 2018 – March 14th 2019
These times are subject to change so please check with your Fire Control Officer.
