Fire Regulations
Each year Council adopts a Firebreak Order which is distributed with all Rates Notices. Additional copies are available from the Shire Offices and Library. The Firebreak Order is reviewed and updated annually by the Bush Fires Management Committee and therefore it is important that landowners and occupiers are aware of the content of the Firebreak Order.
