What’s this about?

A Bushfire Risk Management Plan (BFRMP) is a document that maps and describes the level of bush fire risk across an area and sets out treatment strategies to minimise and mitigate the risk to the community over five years.

The Lower Hunter Bushfire Management Committee consisting of fire agencies, land managers and other stakeholders have been working to identify ways of reducing the impact of fires on this area – protecting lives, homes, businesses, agriculture, the environment and other assets that are important to the Lower Hunter.

Your input is important – and by planning together, we will help shape the Bushfire Risk Management Plan for our area for the next five years.

Your comments are invited on the draft Lower Hunter Bushfire Risk Management Plan. You can view the plan online, at your local Council or Fire Control Centre.
