Throughout September, Healthy Land & Water’s QFBC team worked in collaboration with the Queensland Fire Department (QFD) to create Property Fire Management Plans for two areas that were affected by bushfires in late 2023: Tara and Ballandean.
In September 2023, the township of Tara lost 54 homes to a large bushfire that burnt out of control for several days. In October 2023, areas from Tenterfield northwards to Ballandean experienced several large bushfires which resulted in the loss of over 21 buildings.
