Bushfire Risk Reduction Notice

The community have now had the opportunity to review the new draft Bushfire Risk Reduction Notice for the City of Busselton.

This draft has been carefully developed with a Community Project Reference Group over the last six months. This group is comprised of 30 community group representatives, ranging from resident associations, environmental groups, bushfire brigades and specialists from state government.

Local governments are required to have a Bushfire Notice to manage and minimise the risk of bushfire in and around our homes. It is one of several tools to support fire prevention in community.

This Notice, once finalised and adopted by Council will replace the City's current Firebreak and Fuel Hazard Reduction Notice. The current notice requires updating in order to comply with contemporary bushfire practices and to ensure our community is best supported and prepared for bushfire.

Consultation has now closed and all feedback will be reviewed, before a final Notice being presented to Council in the next few months.
