The City of Greater Geraldton wishes to advise prescribed burns will be undertaken in Webberton on Saturday 8 October 2022 commencing at approximately 9.00 am.

Prescribed burns are undertaken to mitigate the severity of bushfires and to help protect lives and property by reducing the build-up of flammable fuel loads.

These burns will be located adjacent to Guirdara Street, Webberton.

Should unfavourable weather conditions develop on the day, the prescribed burns may be delayed or rescheduled for another day.

The Moonyoonooka Bush Fire Brigade will be on site to control the burn rate and extinguish the fire by the end of the day.

Smoke from the prescribed burns may affect the surrounding areas. If you have a respiratory condition or are affected by smoke you should contact your local doctor or call Health Direct on 1800 022 222.

Members of the community are requested to exercise caution and obey all warning signs and directions from authorised City personnel and contractors.

The City apologises for any inconvenience this may cause.
