Final report of the NSW bushfire inquiry
On 30 January 2020 the Premier announced an Inquiry into the 2019-20 bush fire season in New South Wales (NSW), Australia to make recommendations in relation to bush fire preparedness and response and to report by 31 July 2020, ahead of the 2020-21 bush fire season.
The focus of this report is to provide analysis and recommendations for change to ensure that, when bush fires like this happen again, there is less damage to property and our environment and, as much as possible, there are no lives lost. It aims to help NSW and Australia improve systems to be more ready for extreme fires. That said, it shows there are still lots of unknowns requiring continuing work, and many of the Inquiry’s recommendations go to that point. The seventy-six recommendations can be found on pages vii to xx.
