It will also commence across the City of Greater Shepparton, Moira Shire and Indigo Shire.
Residents are encouraged to use the remaining time before the FDP begins to prepare their properties and complete any planned private burn-offs while conditions and regulations allow.
This includes cleaning up dry grass, leaves and other flammable materials.
CFA deputy chief officer for the north-east region Gavin Thompson warned that heavy fuel loads were already leading to fires in the region.
“We are starting to get fires spread through grasslands,” Mr Thompson said.
“Warm temperatures, wind and extremely low soil moisture means things are rapidly drying out and there is a significant risk of uncontrolled fires.
“Residents in these areas should continue to prepare, including burning off in a safe manner.”
During the FDP, a written permit is required to burn off grass, undergrowth, weeds or other vegetation.
Lighting fires in the open without a permit can attract a penalty of more than $24,000 and/or 12 months imprisonment.
Registering burn-offs online allows emergency call takers to allocate more time to calls from people requiring immediate assistance.
Permits can be applied for via firepermits.vic.gov.au or by calling 1800 668 511.
