Council in currently conducting fire abatement inspections around the municipality in preparation for the up-and-coming fire season.
In particular, we urge community members who own vacant land within the municipality to keep grass and vegetation short (under 100mm in height) for the entire summer. If you own a larger parcel of land that borders onto a residential area, you might be required to slash a firebreak along the adjoining property boundary to act as a barrier.
It is important that we all do our part to keep ourselves and other community members safe.
