NSW Bushfire Inquiry report

The bushfires in 2019 and 2020 were some of the worst in recorded history. The Inquiry has worked to understand what happened during the 2019-2020 bushfire season and how it was different to seasons that have come before.

Final report of the NSW Bushfire Inquiry

In January 2020 the NSW Bushfire Inquiry was established. The final report was completed by 31 July 2020 and provided 76 recommendations for future improvements to how NSW plans and prepares for and responds to bushfires.
