Hazard reduction burn in Warrumbungle National Park

12 April 2024

The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is planning to conduct a hazard reduction burn in Warrumbungle National Park in central-west NSW, beginning Monday 15 April, weather permitting.

The planned 147-hectare burn will take place in the northern section of the park and will not impact visitor areas, walking tracks or campgrounds.

The low intensity burn will aim to improve food resources for brush-tailed rock wallabies, and to reduce fuel load within the Warrumbungle Feral Predator Free Area.

The burn will take place over 3 to 4 days. Smoke may be visible from neighbouring rural properties during this time.

People with known health conditions can sign up to receive air quality reports, forecasts and alerts via email or SMS from the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water.

For health information relating to smoke from bushfires and hazard reduction burns, visit NSW Health or Asthma Australia.

More information on hazard reduction activities is available at NSW Rural Fire Service and the NSW Government's Hazards Near Me website and app.
