Required burning to commence on dead grasstree skirts

Please be careful when visiting Shenton Park during late August/early September as the City is undertaking burning of dead grass tree skirts across a 1-hectare area of the Park.

This project is being undertaken to reduce fine fuel loads within the hazard separation zone in the reserve. Fine fuel loads consist of grasses and small twigs which are less than 6mm in diameter.

Ground burning will not be undertaken and will be limited to clumps of tall grass trees with a priority for those situated under Jarrah and Banksia canopies. See the map for the location of the burning.

Please observe the signage when visiting this area during this time.

Due to the work, the City will be closing the internal pathways in the south-western part of the park.
