³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Parks undertaking hazard reduction burns across Sydney this weekend

The NSW ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) are conducting multiple hazard reduction burns in national parks across Greater Sydney this weekend, pending appropriate weather conditions.

Porto Hazard reduction Burn, Kuring-gai-chase ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Park, August 2021.

  • 4 ha burn in Royal ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Park, adjacent to Grays Point – commencing Sunday 10 September
  • 364 ha burn in Berowra Valley ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Park, west of Berowra Creek and north of Crosslands Rd, Galston – on Sunday 10 September and Monday 11 September
  • 142 ha burn in Ku-ring-gai Chase ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Park, north of St Ives Chase – on Sunday 10 September and Monday 11 September
  • 174 ha burn in Royal ³Ô¹ÏÍøÕ¾ Park, east of Bundeena – on Monday 11 September and Tuesday 12 September.

The burns will reduce bushfire fuel, including dry leaves, sticks, branches and small shrubs, in strategic areas of the parks. This will lessen the spread and intensity of future bushfires and help protect nearby private properties and community assets.

Smoke may be visible in the vicinity of the burns and, depending on wind conditions, may drift into surrounding areas.

People vulnerable to smoke are encouraged to remain indoors, if necessary, and keep their doors and windows closed to reduce exposure.
