Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) and Country Fire Authority (CFA) advise that the Wesburn – Mineshaft Hill Track planned burn, located at two kilometres south east of Wesburn will be ignited at any time within the next 10 days if conditions are suitable.
The land management objective for this planned burn is to provide the highest level of localised protection to human life, property and community assets identified as highly valued including Wesburn and Britania Creek.
The planned burn is 118 hectares in size and is located roughly 300 metres south east from the Wesburn oval.
Access may be restricted where planned burning is being carried out – this can include forests, parks, national parks, state government and council reserves and along roadsides.
Weather conditions and fuel moisture levels at the burn site are being monitored and safety checks carried out in preparation for the burn.
If conditions are not suitable, the burn may be postponed.
Note that some burns are carried out in stages, with part of the burn completed, and crews returning later to carry out further work within the burn area. If so, you will receive notifications when the burn is once again scheduled to be carried out.
