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 This dataset is provided for historical reference purposes and is superseded by the Bush Fire Prone Areas 2019 dataset (OBRM-017).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

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 2015 dataset (OBRM-002) identifies bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 8 December 2015. This dataset is provided for historical reference purposes and is superseded by the Bush Fire Prone Areas 2019 dataset (OBRM-013). Bush fire prone areas are subject to, or likely to be subject to, bushfire 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.

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 2019 dataset (OBRM-015) identifies bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 31 July 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.

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 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 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.
