Sunraysia residents are being urged to ensure their properties are prepared for the upcoming Fire Danger Period.
The Country Fire Authority (CFA) declares an annual Fire Danger Period from October through to April, and it’s important that everyone in our region does their part to reduce the risk of fire ahead of the declaration.
Council’s Local Laws Officers will soon start inspecting properties throughout the municipality to ensure they don’t pose a fire-risk. Penalty notices can be issued to landowners if their land doesn’t comply with Local Laws.
Mildura Rural City Council’s Community Local Law No 2 and the Country Fire Authority Act 1958 stipulate that landowners must not allow their properties to become unsightly or a potential fire hazard.
If residents are concerned about an unsightly land or fire hazard, they are encouraged to contact Council on 03 5018 8100 or visit www.mildura.vic.gov.au
