This dataset provides state-wide fire scar mapping for major bushfires that have occurred within South Australia. It also provides fire scar mapping for prescribed burning activities that have occurred on land managed by the State Government Agencies (Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources, Forestry SA and SA Water). A landscape approach is used for fire history mapping but may be incomplete for a given reserve and region. “Burnoffs” on private land are excluded from this dataset.

_Fires in Australia’s Forests 2016–21 (2024)_ is a continental spatial dataset of the extent and frequency of planned and unplanned fires occurring in forest in the five financial years between July 2016 and June 2021, assembled for _Australia's State of the Forests Report_ Indicator 3.1b Area of forest burnt by planned and unplanned fire. It was developed from multiple fire area datasets contributed by state and territory government agencies, after consultation with Australia’s Forest Fire Management Group. The fire dataset is then combined with forest cover information sourced from the _Forests of Australia (2023)_ dataset (https://www.agriculture.gov.au/abares/forestsaustralia/forest-data-maps-and-tools/spatial-data/forest-cover), and forest tenure information sourced from the _Tenure of Australia’s Forests (2023)_ dataset. Planned fire: Fire started in accordance with a fire management plan or planned burning program, such as fuel-reduction burning or prescribed burning. Unplanned fire: Fire started naturally (such as by lightning), accidentally, or deliberately (such as by arson), but not in accordance with planned fire management prescriptions. Also called bushfire or wildfire. The dataset was compiled by the Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) for the National Forest Inventory (NFI), a collaborative partnership between the Australian and state and territory governments. The role of the NFI is to collate, integrate and communicate information on Australia's forests. The NFI applies a national classification to state and territory data to allow seamless integration of these datasets. Multiple independent sources of external data are used to fill data gaps and improve the quality of the final dataset. Forest areas burnt by fire are allocated by the month of the fire to a financial year (July–June inclusive). Where more than one fire event occurs on any one hectare during a financial year, only the first fire is recorded for that area in the financial year. Fires are also classified into two categories, planned and unplanned, based on the fire seasonality and advice from state and territory agencies. The _Fires in Australia’s forests 2016–21 (2024)_ dataset is produced to fulfil requirements of Australia's _National Forest Policy Statement_ and the _Regional Forests Agreement Act 2002_ (Cwth), and is used by the Australian Government for domestic and international reporting.

This data package includes selected inputs and information used by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in conjunction with the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES) to prepare State-wide Bushfire Hazard Area (Bushfire Prone Area) mapping (July 2014). This information can also be used to support localised or site level assessments of the Bushfire Hazard Area (Bushfire Prone Area).It contains:1. Landscape Slope (vers 2.0, July 2014) - GeoTIFF2. Fire Weather Severity (Forest Fire Danger Index) (vers 1.0, September 2013) - GeoTIFF3. CSIRO report: Leonard, J., Newnham, G., Opie, K., and Blanchi, R.

The dataset provides most recent fire scar mapping for many major fires that have burnt in a given area within or adjacent to National Parks and Wildlife South Australia (NPWSA) reserves. This data set is derived from Fire History mapping. The most recent fire mapping can be used for operational management and planning of fire events and ecological resource management.

State Planning Policy 3.7 Planning in Bushfire Prone Areas (SPP 3.7) directs how land use should address bushfire risk management in Western Australia. It applies to all land which has been designated as bushfire prone by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner as highlighted on the Map of Bush Fire Prone Areas. This boundary dataset is to determine which type of BAL assessment is applicable; self-assessed or by an accredited person. Allowances have been made for new single houses or ancillary dwellings (e.g. granny flats) proposed in a remote location. In remote areas where a proposed new single house or ancillary dwelling will be located outside a 50 km radius of a gazetted townsite, a property owner may be able to complete their own BAL assessment. If your proposed development is located in the Perth, Peel, Great Southern or South West regions, this ‘special provision’ will not apply.

The Bush Fire Prone Area Planning 2024 dataset (OBRM-023) identifies bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 24 September 2024, with Planning Area 1 and Planning Area 2 attributed. This dataset is equivalent to OBRM-021, the only difference being this dataset has an additional field named 'PlanningArea'. Bush fire prone areas are subject to, or likely to be subject to, bush fire attack. A bush fire prone area is identified by the presence of and proximity to bush fire prone vegetation and includes both the area containing the bush fire prone vegetation and a 100 metre buffer zone immediately surrounding it. More information is available from Office of Bushfire Risk Management (OBRM). Contact: Office of Bushfire Risk Management, obrm@dfes.wa.gov.au

This data pack contains reliability assessment tools and guidance to assist local governments to assess the suitability of State-wide Bushfire Hazard (Bushfire Prone Area) mapping when making or amending a local planning scheme to identify state interests with regard to bushfire hazard.The reliability assessment will assist in identifying mapping issues that can be addressed by amendment of the State-wide Bushfire Prone Area mapping by the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES), or when undertaking localised mapping. The State-wide mapping of the Bushfire Hazard Area (Bushfire Prone Area) was developed by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) in conjunction with the Queensland Fire Department.
