Dear Steve,

You might have noticed that we are clearing invasive plants at Dido valley, next to the Navy and the Scratch patch. The property is managed by the City housing department and it is also the planned site relocation of the Redhill community.

The clearing resulted in a lot of biomass which need to burn before summer to prevent it from becoming a fire hazard. The burning permit has been approved by City fire, air pollution and the sub-council.

This mail is to inform you that the fuel reduction burn will take place before the 15th of October. We are just waiting for suitable weather conditions.

The FPA, WoF, and relevant City departments will be involved. Dalton Gibbs from City biodiversity management is the fire boss.

Regards,

Louise Stafford
