The Government's Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW) has sent a timeline for the process for releasing the new Savanna Fire Management methods.
According to the table below, DCCEEW plan to release the exposure drafts of both methods in mid-August and start the official consultation between October and December 2025.
To help ICIN members to go through the methods and give feedback to Government, ICIN will be developing plain-English materials and running workshops from August to late in the year.
ICIN will update members as soon as we hear anything else from Government.
If you have any questions, please get in touch with Gen at [email protected] or 0448 314 263.
