The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service will undertake a 2-day hazard reduction burn in Stockrington State Conservation Area, Seahampton from Tuesday 29 August, weather permitting.

The 40-hectare burn will promote biodiversity while reducing bushfire risk.

Temporary traffic control measures will be in place, with a 40kmh speed limit on George Booth Drive.

To ensure public safety, the burn area north of Seahampton village, in Stockrington SCA will remain closed for a number of days from Tuesday. It will reopen once the area has been assessed as safe and any tree hazards managed.
