These actions included the possibility of future fuel reduction burning. The high rainfall
and lack of suitable weather confirms the difficulty associated with these activities but they
should be pursued each year as an aim.


3. Actions Completed as at May 2019
The site was inspected on 22nd May 2019 and the overall situation is vastly improved on
the 2018 position.

The site is much safer with improved access and a much better capacity for suppression if
it is required.

The details of actions and outcomes include:-
   1. (4.1.1) – Access track from Hoffmann Drive to Walter Hay Drive has been cleared
          to a 4 metre width. (see Photograph Nos. 1 & 2 and Access Management Plan)
