Burn alert: Knocklofty Reserve
The City of Hobart plans to carry out the second stage of its fuel reduction burn in Knocklofty Reserve tomorrow, Wednesday 15 December 2021.
A considerable amount of fire-prone vegetation has built up on the forest floor that needs to be reduced as part of the City’s efforts to protect nearby residents and the natural values of Knocklofty Reserve from bushfire.
Some smoke may be produced during and after the burn, however, we will make every effort to minimise the impact on nearby areas.
The map below shows the planned burn site, which will be closed for a number of days due to significant hazards involved with bushfire management operations. Please follow track closure signage to help us keep everyone safe.

Please note that should the weather on the day not be suitable, the proposed burn will be rescheduled to a future date when conditions allow.
The fuel reduction burn is part of our efforts to protect Hobart’s community, visitors and the natural environment from the risk of destructive wildfire.
