A Total Fire Ban and Harvest Vehicle Movement Ban have been declared for Thursday, 25 December in the Shire of Augusta Margaret River. More information here.

The Shire of Augusta Margaret River will enter a Prohibited Burning Period from 12.01am Tuesday 23 December 2025.
 
Campfires, firepits and the burning of garden refuse piles are NOT allowed at any time or in any location.

Permits to Burn are cancelled.

The Wadandi Pibelmen people have been here for more than 50,000 years so if anyone knows how to care for country it’s them. 

The Shire regularly engages with our Traditional Owners and is grateful to have Indigenous leaders to provide input and guidance.

When it comes to tourism experiences Margaret River Busselton Tourism Association works closely with local Wadandi Traditional Owners to promote Aboriginal tourism and to encourage a greater awareness, understanding and respect for Aboriginal history and culture.

The Shire is proud to have supported Traditional Fire Management workshops, the Wadandi Ranger program, Aboriginal trainees, the Bunuru Festival and other events celebrating Aboriginal culture.
