Seven heavy tankers, three command vehicles and 25 personnel will conduct the burn of up to 14 hectares, starting at 10am.
The ACT Handy Map grid reference for the burn is M13.
Temporary smoke cover may occur.
Authorities say every effort will be made to burn in weather conditions that will minimise the impact of smoke in the area.
The Health Directorate advises that people with asthma, other chronic respiratory and/or chronic cardiac diseases should not perform vigorous exercise and should stay inside if affected by the smoke.
People with asthma in particular should continue their medication and consult their general practitioner if they have any difficulties.
