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. (QFES was renamed QFD 01/07/2024)

The Bush Fire Prone Areas 2019 dataset (OBRM-013) identifies 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 This dataset is provided for historical reference purposes and is superseded by the Bush Fire Prone Areas 2019 dataset (OBRM-017). 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

The Bush Fire Prone Areas 2016 dataset (OBRM-004) identifies bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 21 May 2016. This dataset is provided for historical reference purposes and is superseded by the Bush Fire Prone Areas 2017 dataset (OBRM-008). 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.

This dataset provides fire frequency mapping for many major bush fires that have burnt within South Australia. It also provides fire frequency 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).

The Bush Fire Prone Areas 2025 dataset (OBRM-024) identifies bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 13 December 2025. This dataset supersedes the Bush Fire Prone Areas 2024 datasets (OBRM-021 and OBRM-022). 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

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 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.
