22.01.2022 Well done and big double thumbs thanks to the DBCA crew that worked on the South Carters Rd fuel reduction burn today . It was a precision low intensity b...urn in near perfect conditions, following a wet start to November. This area has not been burnt since 2008 and forms a significant fire risk that could directly impact Margaret River townsite during a summer bushfire. It’s a major win for the region to have finally achieved this fuel reduction. It was also great to see and hear so many surrounding home owners making the effort to thank fire crews for undertaking this hot, dirty and smoky work. Anyone that lives near such an enormous potential firebomb can appreciate how much better it is to reduce the fuel now instead of waiting for a fire disaster. Property owners talked of previous fires in this bush where flames were crowning 20 metres above the tree line! The window of opportunity to get this work done is getting shorter and shorter every year and it’s a credit to the DBCA fire management team for having prioritised this burn for the Margaret River community and dedicated so many personnel and resources to the job. The main burn and edging works were achieved today. However this is a complex burn that needs multiple ignitions over coming days to help preserve biodiversity and reduce the fuels in a variety of different forest types including Karri and Jarrah, so you can expect to see and smell smoke for the next week or so. DBCA will have a long-term commitment to complete, patrol and mop up into coming weeks so they will be out there for a while longer yet. We reckon they’ve earned a wave or a thumbs up as a show of appreciation when you drive by .

20.01.2022 Despite some recent rain, the bush is already dry and volatile. Accordingly the decision has been made for the Restricted Burning Period be brought forward, st...arting Friday 6 November 2020 at 12.01am. PERMITS TO BURN required from FRIDAY 6th NOVEMBER for the Shire of Augusta Margaret River This means a Permit to Burn will be required prior to anyone burning more than one (1) cubic metre of garden refuse (smaller garden piles may only be burnt after 6pm and extinguished before 11pm, otherwise a permit is required.) You can get a Permit to Burn from your local Fire Control Officer - find their contact details here https://bit.ly/3kRQw89 Thanks for observing these fire restrictions. You need to be prepared now for the bushfire season.

18.01.2022 Just a heads up there is an ideal weather window for DBCA to conduct a prescribed burn in the South Carters Rd area this weekend (21/22 November 2020). Mountain... Bike trails in South Carters (the Creek Trails) and 1 lane of Carter's road will be closed and there will be smoke visible to the north of Margaret River townsite. This is important work to help reduce the significant fire risk that surrounds the townsite and we thank all the fire crew that will be undertaking this work over the weekend . These fuel reduction works form part of a larger mosaic of burning that has been undertaken by DBCA, AMR Volunteer Brigades and DFES in recent years in helping protect our community from summer bushfires. When you see the smoke it's a good opportunity to reflect about how much bush and fire risk that surrounds town and a reminder about your individual responsibility for preparing your own property and ensuring you have a Bushfire Plan; even the people in the middle of town .

17.01.2022 And that’s a wrap! We are done for 2020 and what a year it has been. We are very much looking forward to a festive break and wish all our clients and future clients a safe and happy festive season. See you all in 2021, from Team BPP!!

05.01.2022 We have an early contender for Muppet of the Season. Someone decided it would be fun to light up some Grass Trees on the Blackpoint Track last night . Resul...ting in a significant bushfire in the D'Entrecasteaux National Park. Requiring dozens of fire fighters to contain. In the words of one of the responding DBCA fire crew " this behaviour is careless and reckless" . Risking life and property. It's a timely reminder we are now in Bushfire season. With record numbers of West Aussies wandering out yonder this year, we can unfortunately expect there will be the occasional idiot who has overdosed on a BCF camping gear shopping spree and has no idea about life in the bush and likely to start a wildfire . Your property and bushfire plans need to be prepared now.

01.01.2022 One of our many interesting projects we are working on this year. We are thrilled to be working with the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation on the Coznic Bay Tourism Precinct. The world class precinct will include the Murujuga Living Knowledge Centre, campgrounds, jetty and day use areas. The project brings together an extensive team of consultants from various disciplines, working closely with the Traditional Custodians of the land. Our role is to ensure bushfire protection measures are incorporated into the planning and design of the precinct for the safety of all visitors to the site.
