The Shire of Ravensthorpe uses a number of methods to mitigate the risk of bushfire in the region.

Mitigation activities include chemical and mechanical (example pictured above) treatments, as well as prescribed burns to minimise the potential risk of fires.

All mitigation treatments for 2024 as proposed and funded under the Mitigation Activity Fund Grants Program were endorsed by Council at the Ordinary Council Meeting on Tuesday 19 March 2024.

Full details of the proposed mitigation work for the year, including location and which treatment is to be used, can be found here.
