Notification of Traditional Owner Cultural Burning proposed 17/04/2026-19/04/2026

Yorta Yorta Nations Aboriginal Corporation in partnership with Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic), will be conducting a cultural burn in the Mooroopna Common area of the Shepparton Regional Park (see attached map).

Cultural burning is called Woka Bitja in Yorta Yorta Language, which means ‘Country fire’. This burn will involve the use of fire under carefully managed conditions.

Woka Bitja is cool, slow burning to promote healthy Country. Less intense than a fuel management burn, it stimulates growth of native plants that depend on fire, increasing biodiversity.

Woka Bitja holds significant spiritual, social and ceremonial importance and remains an important practice for Yorta Yorta People today.

FFMVic provides information about when burns are proposed to be carried out up to 10 days ahead. We work closely with the Bureau of Meteorology to assess weather conditions – such as humidity, temperature and wind speed – and will only carry out burns when conditions are suitable. The final decision to proceed can only be made on the day of the burn following monitoring of weather conditions and local fuel moisture levels.

FFMVic is therefore unable to confirm dates that this burn will proceed. It is recommended that you regularly seek information about proposed burns near you and stay informed about when the burn may occur.
