Fire Mitigation Action Plan

The Fire Mitigation Plan outlines practical actions for the current financial year to better prevent, control and allow recovery from fires. Actions include planned burns, management of vegetation and securing of funding to continue fire prevention activities.

We support a coordinated approach to bushfire risk mitigation with a group of government, business and community organisations called the Darling Downs Area Fire Management Group. This group includes Queensland state government departments of fire and emergency services, Transport and Main Roads, Parks and Wildlife Service, rail and health services, in addition to representatives of Ergon, Telstra, Powerlink and HQ Plantations, along with community, the Bunya People Aboriginal Corporation and Agforce SEQ.

The Darling Downs Area Fire Management Group uses the Fire Mitigation Action Plan to:

  • identify bushfire hazards and plan bushfire mitigation activities
  • support long-term vegetation management
  • engage with the community
  • support partner organisations and landowners in preparation for bushfires.
