The Dampier Peninsula Fire Working Group closed out their final meeting of 2023 reporting that their year’s burning on target at 35% due to the rainfall of the previous year. Coordinated by Rangelands NRM, the Dampier Peninsula Fire Working is a multi-stakeholder collaborative comprised of Traditional Owners, Indigenous Ranger groups, pastoralists, non-government organisations, and various state and municipal government agencies that works on fire management on the Peninsula. The Group strategically applies prescribed fire using traditional indigenous methods of mosaic burning supported by modern fire science to minimise the extent of large wildfires and to protect country, assets, bush-tucker, and wildlife habitat.
