Bushfire management burns. 🔥🌳​

To manage the risk of bushfires, our teams will be undertaking planned burns within the Project, Jimna and Imbil areas. ​

Smoke may be visible around Yielo Road, Bella Creek Road and the Borumba Project site while burns are underway. 🧑‍🚒​

Neighbouring properties will be notified at least 48 hours before burns commence.​

Residents, especially those with respiratory conditions, are advised to stay indoors if they notice smoke in the area. ​

We've recently installed five automatic weather stations measuring rainfall, wind and conditions across our Project. 🌧️​

The stations collect data in real time, helping our site teams monitor access routes, as well as inform site works and activities. 📡​

Long-term data gathered via the stations will help our team in hydrology modelling to further understand the Project's catchment.​
