There is no change to the previous alert.
Issued: 30 Dec 2025 03:20 PM

A Bushfire Watch and Act is in place for people in Rockingham Lakes Regional Park, Rockingham Golf Course, Lake Coolonngup Reserve, Warnbro Train Station and the north west corner of Lake Walyungup in parts of COOLOONGUP, WAIKIKI and WARNBRO in the CITY OF ROCKINGHAM.

There is a possible threat to lives and homes as a fire is burning in the area and conditions are changing.

WHAT TO DO

If your plan is to leave, leave now.

Take your emergency kit with you. It should include an AM/FM radio that runs off batteries, a first aid kit, a woollen blanket, phones, protective clothing, medication and irreplaceable valuables.

Decide where you will go and how you will get there. This could be with family or friends away from the fire.

Keep your doors and windows closed to keep out smoke.

Turn off evaporative air conditioners, but keep water running through the system if possible to prevent embers entering your home.

Move flammable materials such as doormats, wheelie bins and outdoor furniture away from your home.

If you plan to stay and defend ensure you are mentally and physically prepared, with protective clothing and an independent water supply. Make final preparations now and start patrolling your property to put out spot fires.

The bushfire is currently moving in a north-north westerly direction.

It is not contained or controlled.

An expected wind change this afternoon may cause the fire to start moving fast in a north easterly direction.
