The NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is planning a hazard reduction burn in Deua National Park off Oulla Creek Fire Trail on Wednesday 1st April, weather permitting.
The burn aims to treat approximately 710 hectares of bushland off Oulla Creek Fire Trail, which is around 11 km west of Moruya.
It will help protect built infrastructure from any potential bushfire impacts, and will also help manage fire regimes to maintain and enhance biodiversity.
Oulla Creek Fire Trail will be closed to the public as part of the operation. Road closure signs will be installed on the approaches to the burn area.
For their safety, the public should not enter the area while the operation is underway. Roads and trails will be reopened once the area is assessed as safe. Visitors must check NPWS Alerts for up-to-date information on closures.
Smoke may be visible to visitors in other areas of the national park and from surrounding areas, including Moruya and the properties to the East and the South of the burn area, as well as to traffic on Araluen Road.
If you are vulnerable to smoke, try to stay indoors, keeping doors and windows closed to reduce your exposure.
