Date posted: 10 Nov. 2022

A prescribed burn is planned at Cleland National Park on Thursday, 10 November, weather conditions permitting.

  • The prescribed burn will start at 12:30pm and is likely to be completed by 6:00pm the same day.
  • The area to be burnt is 21.3 hectares of land in the park along Carro Track, one kilometre north of Crafers.
  • This burn aims to reduce fuel within the southeast corner of the park adjacent to Summer Hill Drive, Vantage Way and neighbouring properties within the Crafers area.
  • No roads will be closed.
  • Summer Hill Drive, Vantage Way, Shurdington Road and Mount Lofty Summit Road will be impacted by smoke.

NPWS conducts a statewide program of prescribed burns to reduce the spread and intensity of bushfires, protect communities and enhances biodiversity. Prescribed burning is just one tool used to reduce fuel loads across strategic areas of public and private land. Prescribed burns will only be carried out when it is deemed safe to do so and may be cancelled at short notice if conditions change.
