The Mid Murray Zone Bush Fire Risk Management Plan has recently undergone review and the Bush Fire Management Committee are asking local residents to share their feeback.
A BFRMP is a comprehensive document that maps and assesses the level of bush fire risk across an area and the proposed treatments to minimise and mitigate the risk.
These strategies may directly affect residents and their properties.
The document can be viewed online at www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/plan-and-prepare/managing-bush-fire-risk/bushfire-management-committees/mid-murray-zone
Copies of the BFRMP are also available at the following locations:
- Mid Murray Zone Fire Control Centre, Macknight Dve, Deniliquin
- Edward River Council at the Customer Service Centre, 180 Cressy St. Deniliquin
- Murray River Council at the Mathoura Visitor and Business Centre, Cobb Hwy, Mathoura
- Murray River Council at the Moama office, 52 Perricoota Rd, Moama
Residents are encouraged to provide feedback and raise concerns about the draft BFRMP through the online portal at www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/plan-and-prepare/managing-bush-fire-risk/bush-fire-managementcommittees/mid-murray-zone.
Written submissions can be sent to The BFMC Executive Officer by email on MidMurray.Zone@rfs.nsw.gov.au or by post to Mid Murray Zone FCC, PO Box 109, Deniliquin NSW 2710.
All submissions are due by 5pm on October 8, 2024. Inquiries to executive officer Tony Whitehorn on 5898 4100.
