Mobule Storage is a Perth mobile self-storage business operated by Wheel Easy Australia Pty Ltd from 21 Remisko Drive, Forrestdale, within the City of Armadale. It delivers portable storage mobules to homes and businesses across the Perth metropolitan area and stores packed mobules at its Forrestdale facility. This release sets out the public bushfire-season deadlines and forecasts that affect households on Perth's south-eastern and hills fringe, and explains what can and cannot be moved into off-site storage.
Mobule Storage says households in Perth's bushfire-prone outer suburbs have until 30 November to clear the space around their homes, and that the clutter that usually gets in the way, from stacked timber and spare furniture to boxes stored against the house, can be moved off site rather than thrown out.
The Bureau of Meteorology's long-range forecast issued on 3 September 2026 gives the far south-west of Western Australia a 60% to greater than 80% chance of below-average rainfall for September to November, and reports an over 80% chance of unusually high maximum temperatures across most of western Western Australia. The Bureau notes that a strong El Niño is established and likely to peak in late spring or summer.
The AFAC Seasonal Bushfire Outlook for Spring 2026, published on 19 August 2026, states that above average fuel loads and dry soil conditions are contributing to elevated fire risk across parts of Western Australia.
What do Perth's outer suburbs have to do before 30 November?
The City of Armadale's Firebreak and Hazard Reduction Notice for 2026-27 requires owners and occupiers to complete fire prevention works on or before 30 November 2026 and maintain them until 31 March 2027. On lots of 5,000 square metres or less, flammable material must be reduced to less than five centimetres in height, and buildings must be kept clear of flammable matter. Failure to comply is an offence with a penalty of up to $5,000, and the City may carry out the works and recover the cost.
The Department of Fire and Emergency Services' bushfire preparation guidance calls for a defendable space next to the building that is at least three metres wide, has minimal vegetation and is free from combustible items. Restricted burning applies in the City of Armadale from 1 October to 30 November, and burning is prohibited from 1 December to 31 March.
Key facts from the public record:
- Rainfall outlook: 60% to greater than 80% chance of below-average spring rainfall for the far south-west of Western Australia, September to November 2026 (Bureau of Meteorology, issued 3 September 2026).
- Temperature outlook: Over 80% chance of unusually high maximum temperatures across most of western Western Australia in spring 2026 (Bureau of Meteorology).
- Fire outlook: Above average fuel loads and dry soil conditions contributing to elevated fire risk across parts of Western Australia (AFAC Seasonal Bushfire Outlook, Spring 2026, 19 August 2026).
- Local deadline: City of Armadale fire prevention works due on or before 30 November 2026, maintained to 31 March 2027; penalty up to $5,000 (City of Armadale Firebreak and Hazard Reduction Notice 2026-27).
How does Mobule Storage fit into a bushfire-season clean-up?
Mobule Storage delivers a 6, 8 or 10 cubic metre mobule to the property, leaves it for up to four days for packing, then collects it and stores it at its Forrestdale facility. Households can use it to move the items that make a defendable space hard to keep clear, such as spare furniture, timber offcuts, sporting gear, camping equipment and boxes stored in carports or against external walls, and have them redelivered after 31 March. The company's seasonal storage page lists seasonal sporting equipment and clothing among the common uses, and redelivery is free in the Perth metropolitan area for rentals of 12 months or more.
Suggested quote, approval required: "Most of the stuff blocking a three-metre defendable zone is not rubbish, it is things people want back in April," said Andrew Nairn, Facility Manager, Mobule Storage. "A mobule on the driveway for a weekend lets a household clear the perimeter properly without a trip to the tip or a fight about what to throw away."
What must stay out of a storage mobule?
Mobule Storage's FAQ page lists items that cannot be packed in a mobule for safety reasons, including fuel, oils, paint, gas bottles, aerosols, matches, pool chemicals and other flammable or corrosive goods. Those items are also the ones the firebreak notice and the DFES guidance are most concerned with, so they need to be disposed of through a council hazardous-waste service or stored in line with the notice rather than packed away. DFES also advises households to keep an evacuation kit of important documents and valuables with them, not in storage.
Storage is one part of a preparation plan, not a substitute for the DFES checklist, a bushfire survival plan or local government advice.
Households on Perth's south-eastern and hills fringe can request an instant quote for a delivered storage mobule ahead of the 30 November deadline.
