Bushfire Notice Survey

UPDATE BUSHFIRE NOTICE REVIEW - 1st June 2021

The Bushfire Notice survey closed on 31 May 2021 with 1504 surveys completed completed plus another 174 submissions received outside of the survey The key issues received were regarding the potential APZ standard and boundary firebreaks. Potential changes to those and other aspects of the proposals will be identified and considered before any more formal steps are undertaken.

So, where to from here?

• The City will collate and consider community feedback and develop a second draft Notice taking into consideration community feedback.
• The consultation outcomes and the second draft Notice would also then be presented to the Council for their consideration.
• Further community consultation, including face to face and online information sessions, would then likely be undertaken on a revised draft Notice.
• Following that further consultation, the revised draft Notice will again be presented to the Council for their consideration, at which time the Council could choose to make further changes in response to feedback and/or undertake a further round of consultation
