A spokesperson said more than 1000 properties in the Eurobodalla Shire registered for the state's clean-up program, but "there may still be some out there yet to register".
"Please take a moment to check in with your neighbours and friends to double check they have registered and encourage them to do so as quickly as possible," the spokesperson said.
The spokesperson said work had "ramped up" across the shire.
"To date in the local area, our clean-up teams have inspected well over 550 properties and cleared close to 300," the spokesperson said.
"COVID-19 has meant that we have changed some of the ways we are working, but I'm pleased to say we're still on track and still moving as quickly and safely as we can to clean-up bushfire affected properties."
