The Bush Fire Prone Areas designated on 01/06/2019 dataset (OBRM-014) highlights new additions to the bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 1 June 2019. This dataset is provided for historical reference purposes and is superseded by the Bush Fire Prone Areas 2019 dataset (OBRM-018). For these areas, additional planning and building requirements may apply to development on and from 1 October 2019. This overlay should be used in conjunction with Bush Fire Prone Areas 2019 (OBRM-013) dataset, which identifies all bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 1 June 2019.

This dataset supersedes the Bush Fire Prone Areas 2024 datasets (OBRM-021 and OBRM-022). For these areas, additional planning and building requirements may apply to development on and from 13 April 2026. This overlay should be used in conjunction with Bush Fire Prone Areas 2025 (OBRM-024) dataset, which identifies all bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 13 December 2025.

The Bush Fire Prone Areas designated on 24/09/2024 dataset (OBRM-022) highlights new additions to the bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 24 September 2024. This dataset supersedes the Bush Fire Prone Areas 2021 datasets (OBRM-019 and OBRM-020). For these areas, additional planning and building requirements may apply to development on and from 24 January 2025. This overlay should be used in conjunction with Bush Fire Prone Areas 2024 (OBRM-021) dataset, which identifies all bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 24 September 2024. More information is available from Office of Bushfire Risk Management (OBRM). Contact: Office of Bushfire Risk Management, obrm@dfes.wa.gov.au

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.

The Bush Fire Prone Areas designated on 12-07-2017 dataset (OBRM-010) rectifies a data anomaly in the Bush Fire Prone Areas 2017 (OBRM-008) dataset for the Esperance region. The OBRM-010 dataset should therefore be used in conjunction with the Bush Fire Prone Areas 2017 (OBRM-008) dataset, which identifies all bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 1 June 2017. More information is available from Office of Bushfire Risk Management (OBRM). Contact: Office of Bushfire Risk Management, 9395 9842, obrm@dfes.wa.gov.au

The Bush Fire Prone Areas designated on 01/06/2017 dataset (OBRM-009) highlights new additions to the bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 1 June 2017. The four month transition period for these areas has now concluded. For these areas, additional planning and building requirements applied to development on and from 1 October 2017. This overlay should be used in conjunction with Bush Fire Prone Areas 2017 (OBRM-008) dataset, which identifies all bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 1 June 2017. Please be advised of a supplementary designation of bush fire prone areas within the Shire of Esperance on 12 July 2017. Refer dataset Bush Fire Prone Areas designated on 12-07-2017 (OBRM-010).

Polygon features identify designated Bushfire Prone Areas where specific bushfire building construction requirements apply. The municipal areas of Melbourne, Yarra, Maribyrnong, Moonee Valley, Darebin, Boroondara, Stonnington, Glen Eira, Moreland, Port Phillip and Bayside do not have any designated bushfire prone areas. The original boundaries were gazetted on 7 Sep 2011. Changes to the boundaries have been gazetted on 25 Oct 2012, 8 Oct 2013, 30 Dec 2013, 3 June 2014, 22 Oct 2014, 19 August 2015, 21 April 2016, 18 October 2016, 02 June 2017, 06 November 2017, 16 May 2018, 16 Oct 2018, 4 Apr 2019, 10 Sep 2019, 24 March 2020, 7 September 2020, 25 January 2021, 6 July 2021, 18 March 2022, 17 August 2022, 20 April 2023, 15 December 2023, 10 September 2024 Bushfire prone areas (BPA) of Victoria review 23, gazetted 10/09/2024. The BPA map depicts locations where new buildings, alterations and/or additions must meet the ‘bushfire prone area’ requirements of the National Construction Code and a minimum Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) 12.5 construction standard (Section 192A Building Act 1993 – Bushfire Prone Areas determination, and construction requirements of the Building Regulations 2018).
