How prepared are you for bushfire?

Published on Wednesday, 26 November 2025 at 1:14:27 PM

Whether you live in town or on a rural block, it is important you prepare for bushfire. Bushfires can start anywhere at any time. 

It doesn't matter if you are the landowner or the occupier, all residents have the legal responsibilities to prepare their properties to reduce the risk of outbreak and spread of fire.

Please ensure your property complies with the Firebreak & Fire Control Notice and ensure your firebreaks are maintained until April 30 2026.

DFES has fantastic resources and advice to help you prepare: 

My Bushfire Plan is an interactive preparedness tool that assists you in creating a bushfire plan.
