The Bunya Mountains Disaster Management Sub-Plan will be launched with a day of special activities on the mountains on April 24<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A family fun day will be held on the Bunya Mountains on Saturday, April 24, to help launch the community’s long-awaited Local Disaster Management Sub-Plan.<\/p>\n

The “Community Resilience and Preparedness Day” is being organised by the Bunya Mountains Disaster Management Group (BMDMG).<\/p>\n

It will start off with a detailed rundown of the new plan from 9:30am to 10:30am which will then be followed by family fun events from 11:00am until 2:00pm.<\/p>\n

All Bunya Mountains residents and visitors are urged to attend.<\/p>\n

The BMDMG is a collaboration between the South Burnett Regional Council and the Western Downs Regional Council, the two local governments which have responsibility for different sections of the mountains.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Work on developing the Sub-Plan has been under way since at least January 2020 when a bushfire burning in the foothills of the mountains again reminded residents of the dangers they would face if a fire roared up the range.<\/p>\n

The Bunya Mountains Community Association and Bunya Mountains Rural Fire Brigade organised multiple meetings with representatives from the two councils and other agencies, including the Queensland Parks & Wildlife Service, as the plan was being developed.<\/p>\n

The South Burnett Regional Council received a grant through the Queensland Bushfire – Category C – Flexible Funding Grants Program to assist with the preparation and implementation.<\/p>\n

The project also enabled the purchase of a generator for the Bunya Mountains Rural Fire Brigade.<\/p>\n
