NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and Fire and Rescue NSW are planning hazard reduction works at Awabakal Nature Reserve, near Dudley on Wednesday 11 September (weather permitting).
The map above is an indication of the general burn area and boundaries are not precise.
It will be a few days before smoke clears from the site and the area re-opens.
NPWS will provide scheduling updates for the hazard reduction on a Variable Message Board located on Ocean Street near the intersection with Redhead Road. The public can also monitor the NSW Hazards Near Me app for updates on the status of the burn once it has commenced.
The area proposed to be treated consists of approximately seven hectares and is situated in Awabakal Nature Reserve near the Knoll Avenue and the southern end of Ocean Street, Dudley.
Please note the Awabakal Nature Reserve affected by the hazard reduction and associated trails will be closed whilst burning is underway to protect public safety and ensure effective fire operations.
The burn area itself will be closed for a number of days following until it has been assessed as safe and any tree hazards managed. All visitors are asked to respect park closure signage. All closures will be posted on the NPWS website.
