This includes Windeyer. So to cut thru all the jargon etc. We are currently due to lack of rain and many other factors. The potential should a fire start for what ever reason may impact on us. So please think about any decisions where fire is involved.
🚨 Updated Bush Fire Prone Land Map – Mullamuddy Area 🚨
Mid-Western Regional Council has released an updated Bush Fire Prone Land Map, now in effect.
The area outlined shows roughly the Mullamuddy Brigade area, and as you can see, most of our bridge area is now classified as bush fire prone.
👉 What’s changed?
The main update is the inclusion of grassland areas (Category 3), meaning farmland and open country are now recognised as part of the bush fire risk.
👉 What this means:
• This does NOT mean the risk has suddenly increased
• There are no new rules or laws introduced
• It mainly affects planning and development
👉 What it’s really about:
This mapping is about better identifying where fire can spread, helping landowners and agencies understand risk and plan ahead.
Grass fires, in particular, can move quickly under the right conditions. Something we’re all familiar with around our district.
Even though we’re coming to the end of the bush fire danger period, it’s still a good reminder to:
✔️ Know your risk
✔️ Maintain your property
✔️ Have a plan
For most people, nothing changes day to day, but being prepared always matters!
