Slashing activities to slow
Slashing activities across Livingstone Shire Council areas will be restricted in accordance with latest drought index (KBDI).
The drought index has risen from 144 on 26 May 2026 to 154 on 2 July 2026, pushing the region into the precaution range and impacting our outdoor works.
A higher KBDI value indicates a greater risk of fire, meaning council must restrict its slashing activities to manage this risk.
Council will keep monitoring the drought index and plan works accordingly.
