Time is running out for community comment on DSE’s three-year Fire Operations Plans for the Gippsland region. Closing date for input is Friday August 31.

By Department of Sustainability and Environment - 27th August 2007 - Back to News

The plans are available for viewing at DSE offices and on the DSE website.

Members of the public are encouraged to find out what fuel reduction works, asset protection and ecological burns are planned for public land in their neighbourhood, as well as fire access road works and facilities maintenance.

DSE Senior Fire Management Officer, Geoff Pike said DSE has been consulting with individuals, community groups, public land managers, local councils, indigenous communities, apiarists, CFA and flora and fauna specialists about the plans.

"We want to ensure that everyone affected has a chance to comment on and contribute to proposed fuel reduction and ecological burns across the region," Mr Pike said.

"Everyone is encouraged to participate in the burns planning process and to raise any concerns or comments with DSE’s local Fire Management Officers now, before the Plan is finalised in late September."

Gippsland’s Fire Operations Plans are available on the DSE website: www.dse.vic.gov.au/fire

Please contact the Fire Management Officer at your nearest DSE office for further information and to view the Fire Operations Plan for your fire district. If you are unsure of who to talk to, please call Kelly Gleeson on 51 722111.
