Ian Cook writes:

Now is a good time for everyone to be thinking about preparing for the approaching bush fire season. For those in the community that may require or need assistance to prepare their home, the AIDER program may be able to assist.

The program helps people live more safely and confidently in their home in areas where bush fires may start, and aims to support our most-at-risk community members.

I would encourage those that

North Arm Cove property, roads and zoning map

Information

The bushland that we see around the cove now is open forests and woodlands that has regrown...
