Sunshine Coast Council Planned Hazard Reduction Burns

The Sunshine Coast Council has a program of planned hazard reduction burns that will take place over the next few months. The bushfire management program targets fire adapted forest. Planned burns usually take place across the region between April and September. Planned burns help to maintain healthy forests and reduce fuel loads before the typical Spring bushfire season.

Within council environment reserves, they undertake activities to reduce the risk of bushfires including:

• making and maintaining fire trails and fire breaks

• planning, assessing and managing bushfire risk

• planned burns to reduce fuel loads and maintain ecosystems.

During any burns, planned or not, residents are reminded that if affected by smoke they should close windows and doors, utilise air-conditioning and keep respiratory medication close at hand.
