  • Bushfire Risk Reduction Notice

    Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Linkedin Email this link

    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.

  • Holgate Reserve Revitalisation

    The City of Busselton is seeking community feedback on what you would like to see upgraded at Holgate Reserve. Once a busy, well-used reserve for beach goers, families, volleyball and tennis enthusiasts, Holgate Reserve is in much need of some love and attention.

    This project will have a limited budget, but depending on community feedback, the project can potentially be funded over multiple years.

    The option that the community prioritises the most will be presented to Council for consideration of adoption in the 2024/25 budget and developed into a larger concept plan.

This project is in its beginning phases, and so, further updates regarding this survey will not be available until the strategy is further progressed. We encourage you however, to keep an eye out on the Night Time Economy project page which will remain ‘live’.
