Bushfire Management Plan

The South Australian Country Fire Service (CFS) has advised that each individidual household must be solely responsible for their bushfire plan and maintenance of their fire fighting equipment. The Corporation is responsible for maintaining fire breaks and reducing plant growth around the residential development areas. This responsibility does not extend to vacant blocks.

All residents should have a household Bushfire Plan done before a bushfire threatens. The following links will help you in developing your plan:

Native Vegetation Management Plan

In 2003 a survey of the Point Boston Peninsula was conducted on behalf of the South Australian Mariculture Pty Ltd. The report details some rare plant and bird species as well as some feral weeds and animal infestations.

The Corporation is now the owner of this land. By working with local and State Government agencies we aim to prevent further degradation and enhance the precious environment within our peninsula.
