Fire and flood

Bushfires

The Far North Coast Bush Fire Management Committee recently sought comments on its draft Bush Fire Risk Management Plan (BFRMP).

Open air burning

Our policy is to minimise burning off in Byron Shire.

Floodplains

Floodplain management aims to reduce the impact of floods on individuals and the community as a whole.

Bush regeneration

Bush regeneration on Council land is a high priority action in the Byron Shire. This is identified in the Byron Biodiversity Conservation Strategy.
