7.1 Weather Station Upgrade Request
Shire of Augusta Margaret River
An officer from the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) attended a Volunteer Fire Brigade meeting held in Margaret
River in February 2021. The officer shared a PowerPoint presentation entitled, “Seasonal Outlook – Summer
2020-21”. The presentation detailed long-term weather trends, seasonal drivers, antecedent conditions as
well as a seasonal outlook for December through to March: rainfall and temperature. Overall, the data shows
the SW can expect to experience drier winters and warmer than average minimum temperatures into the
future which impacts the fire danger level.
Following the BOM presentation, a Kudardup Bushfire Brigade member raised concerns at the following Shire
of Augusta Margaret River Bush Fire Advisory Committee (BFAC) meeting about the level and accuracy of
weather forecasting in the Lower South West region, in particular the South West corner. Discussions focused
on issues relating to the distance between the Perth located radar and the Albany located radar, with the lack
of detail that results due to Margaret River’s positioning. The Brigade advised that this prevents certainty
when predicting local onsite weather conditions and what is happening on the ground, creating issues when
emergency services are plotting and managing fires. As a result, the BFAC made a recommendation to the
Augusta Margaret River Council which was endorsed at the Ordinary Council Meeting held 24 March 2021.
Extract from the full Council Decision OM2021/46 shown below:
“That the Shire, at the WALGA South West Country Zone meeting in April, request that the
Bureau of Meteorology upgrades the weather stations in the South West corner to include
a weather radar, along with anything else required to improve weather forecasting in the
Lower South West region, including the Shire of Augusta Margaret River.”
RESOLUTION
Moved: Cr Ian Earl
Seconded: Cr Paul Gillett
That the South West Country Zone of WALGA:
1. Notes the concerns of the Shire of Augusta Margaret River’s Bush Fire Advisory Committee in
relation the need for accurate weather forecasting.
2. Requests that WALGA write to the Bureau of Meteorology requesting upgrades to the weather
stations in the South West Corner to include a weather radar to improve weather forecasting
in the Lower South West region.

7.2 South West Infrastructure Coordination Committee
Shire of Dardanup
The Bunbury Geographe Group of Council’s (BGGC) met on 8 March 2021 with the Chairman of the Planning
Commission Mr. David Caddy to discuss the draft Bunbury Geographe Sub Regional Planning Strategy. One
of the key themes discussed at the meeting was the lack of Infrastructure Coordination and the fact that this
was not included in the Sub-regional Planning Strategy, noting that the Perth and Peel @ 3.5 Framework for
that region, does include detailed infrastructure planning and commitments across State Government.

Fire and
Biodiversity
FORUM
Friday 4 June 2021
Margaret River HEART
47 Wallcliffe Rd Margaret River WA
Broadscale prescribed burning is used extensively as a fire mitigation tool in the South
West of WA. In this forum we will examine its effectiveness and the ways it interacts
with the natural landscape, including its impact on all living things. Our objective is
to further develop an informed and nuanced conversation around fire mitigation,
responses to fire, biodiversity, people and places, in the face of a changing climate.
