FORESTRY CORPORATION OF NSW
PUBLIC NOTICE – PLANNED HAZARD REDUCTION BURNING

Forestry Corporation of NSW advises that planned hazard reduction burning may be undertaken in Armidale State Forest commencing on Thursday 20th August 2026, subject to suitable weather and operational conditions.

These burns form part of Forestry Corporation’s ongoing bush fire risk management program and are designed to reduce fuel loads, assist in protecting surrounding communities and forest assets, and maintain healthy forest ecosystems.

Residents and visitors may notice smoke in the Armidale district during this period. Smoke may be present both during the day and overnight and may reduce visibility on nearby roads. Motorists are urged to drive to the prevailing conditions.

For public safety, temporary road closures or access restrictions may be implemented while burning operations are underway. Members of the public are requested to comply with all signage and directions from Forestry Corporation staff.
