To ensure the community is protected from the risk of fire, Rangers pay particular attention to the maintenance of firebreaks and endeavour to inspect them all prior to the fire season. Infringement notices will be issued where landowners do not comply with regulations.
Owners and occupiers are required to clear and maintain their property safe from fire during the specified fire danger period, usually 1 November to 31 March (subject to change).
Specific details are issued with Rate Notices and can be obtained from the Shire Administration Building.
Further information on Fire Breaks and Burning Restrictions can be found on our Emergency Services Page.
