The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) and the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) are conducting multiple hazard reduction burns in national parks across Greater Sydney this weekend, pending appropriate weather conditions.
- 4 ha burn in Royal National Park, adjacent to Grays Point – commencing Sunday 10 September
- 364 ha burn in Berowra Valley National Park, west of Berowra Creek and north of Crosslands Rd, Galston – on Sunday 10 September and Monday 11 September
- 142 ha burn in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park, north of St Ives Chase – on Sunday 10 September and Monday 11 September
- 174 ha burn in Royal National Park, east of Bundeena – on Monday 11 September and Tuesday 12 September.
The burns will reduce bushfire fuel, including dry leaves, sticks, branches and small shrubs, in strategic areas of the parks. This will lessen the spread and intensity of future bushfires and help protect nearby private properties and community assets.
Smoke may be visible in the vicinity of the burns and, depending on wind conditions, may drift into surrounding areas.
People vulnerable to smoke are encouraged to remain indoors, if necessary, and keep their doors and windows closed to reduce exposure.
