On Monday 27 July 2026, an AusAlert test message will be sent to all compatible mobile devices in Australia. It will sound and vibrate for around 10 seconds, even if your phone is on silent or Do Not Disturb. If this could disrupt you or cause you or a loved one to feel unsafe, plan ahead by turning your device off, or switch to aeroplane mode, and leave it off for at least 1 hour.

Magnet Hill is an extinct volcanic cone made up of scoria and basalt outcrops. The site contains small areas of remnant native grass cover as well as habitat for native bats, skinks and snakes.
Ecological restoration of the site is currently being undertaken in accordance with the environmental management plan for the site adopted by Council on 19 December 2018.
There are currently no formal or informal path networks. Future pathways and passive recreation facilities to improve community access to the site have been identified in the plan. These features will be developed as the plan is implemented and funding is available.
