Wyndham City’s Seasonal Prescribed Burn Program Spring 2025 Ecological Burns
Wyndham City Council will be implementing its Seasonal Prescribed Burn Program for Spring 2025 in Open Space/Conservation Reserves and Rural Roadside Reserves.
Specific locations include:
Council Reserve | No. of Burn Patches |
| Cobbledicks Ford Conservation Reserve, Mount Cottrell | 2 |
| Lollypop Creek – Armstrong Road to Greens Road, Wyndham Vale | 3 |
| Skeleton Creek – Boardwalk Boulevard to Palmers Road West Conservation Reserve, Point Cook | 2 |
| Malcolm Williams Conservation Reserve, Little River | 4 |
| Kirks Bridge Road Conservation Roadside Reserve, Mambourin | 1 |
The reserves earmarked for prescribed burns consist of nationally threatened Victorian Volcanic Plains vegetation and the use of burning is a necessary component in the management of these native grasslands.
The benefits include:
Promoting healthy, fresh growth that many grassland species are accustomed too.
Creating temporary spaces of bare ground, allowing new plants to germinate.
Removing the build-up of dry/cured biomass that restricts healthy plant growth.
These burns will be conducted by Wyndham City Council’s Conservation Team.
It is anticipated that these burns will take place during the Spring 2025 period (suitable weather and on-ground conditions permitting). In addition, these Prescribed Burns may be prevented from proceeding due to several other factors resulting in the postponement of the burn until the following spring or autumn.
If residents experience smoke in or around their home, they should shut their windows and turn off their air conditioners. Council apologises for any inconvenience experienced during the burns.
Prior to the burn residents in nearby properties will be notified of the burn commencing.
