Summary
New South Wales just unveiled its first Cultural Fire Strategy, a bold move to revive ancient Aboriginal fire practices blocked by modern bureaucracy. Born from the 2020 bushfire inquiry’s call for traditional wisdom, the plan tackles confusing rules, unstable funding, and crippling insurance costs over the next two to three years. It’s about empowering Aboriginal practitioners to manage landscapes with fire—not just to burn, but to heal, protect biodiversity, and prevent catastrophic wildfires. Stories from Yuin cultural fire expert Dan Morgan and land manager David Dixon show how controlled burns can curb invasive species like wattle and restore balance. The strategy promises to review burn intervals by 2028, simplify approvals, fund monitoring, and unite agencies—recognizing that traditional knowledge isn’t outdated, but essential for a resilient future.
