The Victorian Lands Alliance would like to sincerely thank all those who supported our campaign to re-introduce a realistic prescribed burning program to Victoria.

To the many people who attended our public meetings, presenters at those meetings and those who donated to our campaign and all who completed the on-line Bushfire Survey - Thank You!

The announcement by the government on August 27th that they accepted the recommendation to implement a prescribed burning program of five per cent of public land, to be implemented in stages, reflects almost exactly the recommendations put by the VLA over the last two years.      

It needs to be acknowledged that not all in the community yet see the value in restoring cool burning in the bush back to the levels of the early 1980's and the govenment undoubtedly took this into account before making their welcome decision.
