Did you Know?

We are currently in the middle of Bushfire season in our region.

Bushfires are a natural occurrence in the area we live in, and we all need to be prepared should a bushfire suddenly threaten our community.

Bushfires don't just happen in the bush; they are also a threat to all residents especially if; you live near bushland and if your local area has significant bushfire history.

New Community Bushfire Plans are currently being coordinated by Council for the areas of Binbee, Crystalbrook and Whitsunday Paradise. Furthermore, free Property Bushfire Plans are also available across the region to assist landholders with the implementation of actions or purchase of infrastructure to mitigate bushfire risk.

Residents are invited to have their say on these projects or register their interest for a property plan via our online engagement portal, yoursaywhitsunday.com.au.

Please remember, in the event of bushfire, warnings will be issued by Queensland Fire and Emergency Services via their website and Facebook page where possible.
