Manager Bushfire Mitigation

The Manager of Bushfire Mitigation is responsible for leading and coordinating bushfire prevention efforts in the district. This includes planning and executing strategies, conducting risk assessments, and prioritizing actions to reduce bushfire threats. The role involves mentoring Bushfire Mitigation Officers and working closely with brigades, agency partners and landowners to enhance bushfire preparedness, education, and engagement.

I collaborate with various teams and stakeholders to ensure a unified approach to bushfire and emergency management across the district.

Operationally, I am also fortunate to be part of the Air Operations team, where I am highly skilled as an Air Observer. This role allows me to fly in both rotary and fixed wing aircraft, providing real time intel and mapping, direct to our frontline firefighters and incident management teams on the ground. This information assists in developing plans to manage incidents.
