These pages are intended to give you useful and practical information about readiness, recovery and resilience for bushfire planning for you, your family, your community and your business.
Bushfires and Other Emergencies
Emergency events such as bushfires, floods, intense storms and public health crises can strike at any time — and climate change will only serve to intensify extreme weather events. It is important to plan for emergencies and have a plan ready to activate.
Burning and Fire Guidelines
Burning in the Adelaide Hills presents a raft of dangers and as such, is highly regulated and should only be carried out as a last resort and where permitted by Council.
