About the Muster

Do you want to help prepare communities for bushfires before they happen? Join our muster event to support Bilpin residents and help reduce the risk of fire in the community, before summer begins.

What to expect

This muster event involves clearing the low-lying vegetation around Bilpin Oval and a path to the adjacent dam for access to water supplies during the fire season. You will use tools like a wheelbarrow, rake, and mattock.

Bring your own lunch, snacks and water for the day.
