Bushland

Council supports, promotes and undertakes protection and restoration of bushland reserves and encourages residents to assist local wildlife by using locally indigenous plants when gardening.

Find out about Council's bush hazard reduction programs to minimise bushfire risk to properties and our natural assets.

Burning dead and dry vegetation from routine property maintenance is allowed in certain areas. Find out what permits and notifications are necessary for burning on private property.

Council's Bushland Management Team works closely with Landcare, giving expert guidance and co-ordinating the work done by both.
