Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park – Autumn
Planned Program Underway
Forest Fire Management Victoria
(FFMVic) have commenced the Autumn Planned Burning Program in Grampians
(Gariwerd) National Park and surrounding reserves.
The
map attached, outlines the burns programmed for this year. Detailing the
exact date and time of ignition can be difficult and the final decision to
proceed may only be made on the day of the burn - once resources, weather
conditions and local fuel moisture levels are deemed suitable. Once a burn is
scheduled for ignition, FFMVIC will send out regular notifications.
Some
of the planned burns this Autumn may involve the temporary closure of visitor
sites, roads and campgrounds within Grampians Gariwerd National Park and other
reserves. This may include detours or closures of hike in campgrounds along
the Grampians Peaks Trail, and other vehicle-based campgrounds.
· Closures
will be enforced for the duration of ignition and may remain in place for some
days. Visitor sites will re-open once the burn is declared safe.
· We
recommend that you seek information and stay informed about the status of the
planned burns scheduled near you.
