• How can I prepare my property to reduce bushfire risk?
• Where can I find more information on how to prepare my property?
Before the Fire Danger Period begins, it is important that all residents are aware of their own responsibilities and that they take action to reduce the risk of bushfire in their community.
Some things that you can do to prepare your property include:
• Clearing away rubbish from around the house and garden;
• Cut and maintain grass and other vegetation;
• Clearing your house, garage and shed gutters.
