Upcoming planned burns

Council’s Conservation Management Team undertake prescribed burns in conservation reserves to improve the health of our native grassland ecosystems and to reduce the fuel load in a reserve.

While we try to reduce the impact of smoke, we recommend that if you live near a conservation reserve, you remain indoors and keep windows closed until the burn is over. If you are sensitive to smoke, please follow the advice from your doctor.

Prescribed burns are dependent on favourable weather and available resourcing. As such, burns may need to be rescheduled at late notice.

Regularly review the prescribed burning interactive map below to stay up to date on Council’s prescribed burning program.
