Smart Vegetation Management
Smart Vegetation Management Roadshow

Smarter vegetation management starts here

Another fire season is coming – with tighter budgets, rising fuel loads, and increasing regulatory demands. This free, in-person forum brings together Australia’s leading bushfire, data, and vegetation management specialists to help you get ahead.

Across half a day, you’ll gain practical strategies to:

  • Reduce fire risk with proven, risk-led planning tools
  • Cut labour demands by targeting effort where it counts most
  • Strengthen compliance with up-to-date policy insights and case learnings
  • Maximise impact with smarter use of residual chemistry.

You’ll also hear real-world lessons from Australia, Europe, and the US – plus connect with peers facing the same operational pressures across roadsides, easements, and other linear assets. Stay and network over a light lunch at the end of the session.

Join us at the Brisbane Roadshow:

  • Date/Time: Tuesday 2 September, 9:00am–12:00pm (light lunch served from 12pm)
  • Location: Ashgrove Golf Club, 863 Waterworks Road, The Gap QLD

A light lunch and refreshments will be provided at the conclusion of the panel discussion and Q and A's.
