This two day, multi-disciplinary fire management conference will focus on how fire can be used to rehabilitate degraded landscapes, restore ecological integrity and reinstate resilience into the environment and the community. It builds upon themes identified in previous conferences further exploring the use of fire as a restoration tool. Using scientific evidence and on-ground case studies in collaboration with practical risk management strategies, the conference will highlight how resilient and healthy ecosystems are an integral component of prepared and resilient communities.

This tenth conference will also feature interesting historical accounts, focusing on lessons that have been learnt over the 35 years of the Bushfire Program and celebrates 60 years since the establishment of the Nature Conservation Council.

Who should attend? People involved in bushfire planning, management and operational activities, property owners, volunteers, as well as people involved in ecological restoration and management, such as bush regenerators and consultants.
