What is the Shire of Jerramungup Fire Control Information notice?

The Shire of Jerramungup Fire Control Information notice is a legal document under section 33 of the Bush Fires Act 1954,
that instructs landowners/occupiers of the actions they must take to prepare their properties for the upcoming fire
season.
Landowners/occupiers who fail to comply with conditions contained in the Notice by the date of inspection may be issued
with a penalty of up to $5,000 under the Act.

I didn’t receive a copy or I have misplaced the Fire Control Information notice. What should I do?

As the landowner/occupier you are the legal entity responsible for making sure your land complies with the conditions contained within the Notice. Not reading it or misplacing it does not provide an excuse for not complying with your legal requirements.

If you require another copy of the Notice, there are a few options available to you:

1. Contact the Shire of Jerramungup during office hours and ask for another copy to be posted to you.
2. Pick up a copy from either the Shire of Jerramungup or Bremer Bay CRC offices.
3. Read the Notice on the Shire website www.jerramungup.wa.gov.au

Please note if you did not receive the Notice in the mail, you are still bound by its requirements.

I have recently purchased a property in the Shire and was not informed of any works required to be completed on the
property. Why am I now liable when I was not aware?

When a property is changing ownership, Settlement Agents are notified of any outstanding works to be completed on the
property. It is up to them to pass this information onto the purchaser.
All new landowners are posted rates information, including a copy of the Notice.

I live in town, do I need to comply with the Fire Control Information notice?

Yes. All residents/landowners/occupiers of land within the Shire of Jerramungup, including within townsites, are required and have a shared responsibility to comply with the Notice.

I cannot meet the requirements by the date specified. Can I get an extension?

Reducing the risk of bush fire is a shared responsibility between local government, state government agencies and the
community. We all have our part to play.

Landowners/occupiers are responsible for making sure their properties are compliant with the requirements of the Notice by the due date to reduce the level of bush fire risk for the whole community. Extensions will generally not be granted.
