Bush Fire Danger Period to start on 14 September 2026

The Bush Fire Danger Period of the Wingecarribee Shire Council and Wollondilly Shire Council areas has been brought forward to 14 September due to prevailing dry conditions. This means that a Fire Permit will be required from 14 September to light or maintain fire in the open.

Residents and land holders should also ensure they understand the rules around the use of fire. Along with required fire permits, you must also notify your local fire authority and neighbours of your intent to burn 24 hours in advance.

To apply for a Fire Permit visit www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/notify and be sure to give us as much notice as possible as a Fire Permit Officer will need to visit your property prior to issuing a permit.

Know the risks for your area, have a bush fire survival plan and discuss what you and your family will do if threatened by fire.

The continues to support the significant search effort, now into it's sixth day, for missing hiker Lily Hooper in the Nattai National Park.

Since this operation began, more than 100 RFS members from across the Southern Highlands, Southern Tablelands and Greater Sydney, including specialist remote area firefighters and drones, have supported the NSW Police Force led search.

The search is being conducted in dense, steep and challenging bushland, with some crews having camped overnight due to the remoteness and difficult terrain.

How the community can assist:

*Stay Alert: If you are travelling through or living around High Range, the Southern Highlands, or nearby trailheads (including the Bonnum Pic area), please remain vigilant.

*Review Footage & Outbuildings: Local residents and motorists are encouraged to check dashcams, private CCTV, sheds, and rural acreage boundaries.

⚠ If you see Lily or have any information about her whereabouts, contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000. Immediate/active sightings should be reported to Triple Zero (000) immediately.
