BUSHFIRE SEASON THE TIME TO PREPARE OUR COMMUNITY NOW

With the summer Fire Permit Period now in our midst, Glenorchy City Council strongly encourages all property owners to take steps to reduce potential fire risks on properties.

To ensure that your property is maintained for the upcoming fire permit period, you are asked to take steps now to ensure that your property does not contain a fire risk. This includes ensuring that all grass is mowed to less than 100mm in height, all vegetation is trimmed, excess flammable material is removed from outdoor areas and your boundary fences are clear of flammable material which may cause a fire risk to nearby properties as well as your own.

If you are concerned about the condition of your property and are unable to carry out the work personally, Council recommends that you engage a private contractor to assist or provide you with advice.

Council also asks that all property owners and residents play their part in reducing fire risks that may affect you, your family and your community by doing the following: • checking the Tasmania Fire Service website (www.fire.tas.gov.au) for informa- tion and guidelines about protecting your property, or calling the Tasmania Fire Service Information Line on 1800 000 699 (free call) • making a Bushfire Survival Plan for your home and property • speaking with your neighbours and share your Bushfire Survival Plan with them, as well as your friends and family • planning and considering how you will transport and care for pets in the event of a fire emergency • knowing you Bushfire Survival Plan well and sticking to it if it needs to be actioned

If you require further information about how to prepare for yourself and your property for the fire season, please call the Tasmania Fire Service Information Line on 1800 000 699, alternatively you may call Council on (03) 6216 6800. Tony McMullen GENERAL MANAGER

We’re helping prevent bushfires in Tasmania With bushfire season fast approaching, we’re reducing the threat of vegetation coming in contact with powerlines. TasNetworks and our authorised contractors will be entering properties over the coming weeks to clear vegetation growing too close to TasNetworks-owned powerlines. If you see trees growing too close to powerlines please report them to us on 1300 137 008. tasnetworks.com.au 11
