ANZAC Day 2026

Today, communities across the South Eastern Area have come together to honour and remember the service and sacrifice of our ANZACs.

Members from across our districts will attend dawn services, marches and commemorations, standing alongside veterans, families and the wider community in reflection and respect. We acknowledge those who served, those who continue to serve, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation.

The ANZAC spirit, continues to resonate within our communities and across our Service.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Lest We Forget

🔥 Burning Off Reminder for Residents & Landowners 🔥

The Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP) has now ended, however there are still important legal requirements that must be followed before lighting up.

Before you burn off, you must:

* Notify NSW RFS at least 24 hours prior via the online notification form: https://nswrfsprod.service-now.com/guardian_csp?id=guardian_cat_item&sys_id=9e19819bc361f1d04a9cdc31150131ad
* Notify neighbours at least 24 hours before.
* Check the weather forecast and fire danger.
* Use fire safely with clearings all around.
* Monitor the fire in person and see that it is fully extinguished before leaving unattended.

Safe Burning advice can be found via the link below:
https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/plan-and-prepare/farm-fire-safety/safeburning

⚠️ Failure to notify both the NSW RFS and adjoining landowners is an offence under the Rural Fires Act 1997.

If you do not comply, you may be subject to fines, legal action, or suppression costs if emergency services are required to respond.

Even outside the Bush Fire Danger Period (BFDP), fires can still escape and threaten lives, property and emergency first responders. Let’s all do our part to keep our community safe.

🟠🟠 TOTAL FIRE BAN TOMORROW (06/02/2026) EXTREME FIRE DANGER RATING 🟠🟠

Tomorrow, a Total Fire Ban has been declared for the Southern Ranges Weather District (Upper Lachlan, Goulburn Mulwaree, Yass Valley, and Queanbeyan-Palerang LGA's)

What does this mean for you?
Extreme Fire Danger days mean conditions will be dangerous, fires will spread quickly and be extremely difficult to control, and lives and homes are at risk.

🚫A Total Fire Ban means no fires are permitted in the open. If you're camping in the area, do not light a campfire.
🚒Report all fires to Triple Zero (000).
📖Check your bushfire plan and ensure that your property is fire-ready tonight, don't leave it till the fire starts.
⚠️If a fire starts, take immediate action. If you and your property are not prepared to the highest level, go to a safer location well before the fire impacts.
🚜Reconsider doing hot works like welding, grinding, or slashing, as one spark is all it takes to start a fire.
🚗Reconsider traveling through bushfire risk areas.
💨Don’t wait to see smoke — leave early if your plan is to go.

Stay informed via the Fires Near Me app or www.rfs.nsw.gov.au
