Prescribed burn at Yundi

Date posted: 19 Apr. 2024

A prescribed burn is planned at Yundi, on the Fleurieu Peninsula, on Monday 22 April 2024, weather conditions permitting.

  • The prescribed burn will start at 11.30am and is likely to be completed by 5pm on Monday 22 April.
  • The area to be burnt is 1.5 hectares on private property off Yundi Road, approximately 2km north of Mount Compass.
  • This is an ecological burn to assist in the recruitment of threatened plants in the Fleurieu swamp community.
  • No roads will be closed.
  • Some smoke may drift over Yundi Road and Proctor Road during the burn.
  • National Parks and Wildlife Service crews will remain on site until safe.

NPWSSA conducts a statewide program of prescribed burns to reduce the spread and intensity of bushfires, protect communities and enhance biodiversity. Prescribed burning is just one tool used to reduce fuel loads across strategic areas of public and private land.

Prescribed burns will only be carried out when it is deemed safe to do so and may be cancelled at short notice.
