An important aspect of the Fuel Reduction Program is providing information about the work of the program to the general public and local communities.

The Community Engagement Officers and other staff of the Program are actively involved in delivering Program information through a number of activities, including periodic community forums and attendance at community events.

These forums, which are held around the State, provide an opportunity for people to ask questions and also give feedback to the Program about fuel reduction burning.

If you are interested in attending an information event please get in touch by clicking on the ‘Contact’ tab.
