Bushfire Mitigation

  1. Home
  2. Our Services
  3. Environment

Glenorchy is recognised as a high-risk bushfire area within Greater Hobart, with vegetation management playing a central role in reducing that risk.

What we do

What we do to reduce and manage bushfire risk across Council-managed land and facilities.

Mitigating Bushfire Risk

How you can fulfil your responsibilities to reduce fire risk.

Bushfires - Community and You

How we are all working to respond to Bushfire

Glenorchy City Council acknowledges the Muwinina people as the traditional owners of this Land. We recognise all Tasmanian Aboriginal people as the original owners and continuing custodians of the land and waters of this island, lutruwita. We pay our respect to Aboriginal Elders, past and present. We commit to working for a City that welcomes and respects all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
