The Shire of Dardanup Rangers team will begin annual firebreak inspections from Tuesday, 1 December 2026, checking properties for compliance with the 2026-27 Fire Prevention Order.

Firebreaks and hazard reduction measures play a vital role in helping protect lives, property and the wider community during bushfire season. They also assist emergency services to safely access and defend properties when responding to fires.

Property owners are reminded that firebreaks must be installed and maintained in accordance with the requirements outlined in the Fire Prevention Order throughout the entire fire season.

If you are unsure of your firebreak obligations or require an extension to complete the required works, please contact the Shire as soon as possible.

The Shire encourages all residents to take the time to prepare their properties and ensure firebreaks remain accessible and maintained throughout the fire season.

By working together, we can help reduce bushfire risk and support our volunteer firefighters and emergency services this summer.

For more information about firebreak requirements, extensions and the 2026-27 Fire Prevention Order, visit the Shire website or contact Ranger Services on (08) 9724 0307.
