Victoria’s Country Fire Authority (CFA) is leading its largest-ever emergency stabilisation effort after the January 2026 bushfires, with works ongoing across multiple regions.
Crews from partner agencies are repairing fire response damage including fixing fences, gates, water supplies, and stabilising soil and control lines on private land to prevent erosion.
The Longwood–Berrys Lane fire, the season’s largest, impacted over 1,800 properties. About 60 per cent of control lines have been stabilised so far.
Recovery is progressing, with some areas complete and others expected to finish in coming months. Landholders can request repairs caused by firefighting operations. All fencing and water replacement work is reactive to requests from landholders.
