Wednesday 4 February 2026 has been declared an Extreme Fire Danger Day and Total Fire Ban Day by the Country Fire Authority for the Central district, which includes the Macedon Ranges.
The Macedon Ranges Agribusiness Plan represents a major, industry-leading, step in the Council’s ongoing efforts to help balance the interests of the agricultural sector, with the needs of other industry sectors, the environment and the broader community. The plan was adopted in June 2013.
