South Australia has been divided into 15 fire weather districts, which are used by the Bureau of Meteorology and the SA CFS to provide daily fire danger ratings.

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 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

Strategic Bushfire Management Plan - Fire Management ZonesIn the SBMP, Fire Management Zones are identified as a subset of BPAs where measurable fuel management treatments are applied. The location and alignment of these zones reflect the risk of bushfires starting and spreading, and impacting on life, property and other assets. The zones established include Asset Protection Zones, Strategic Firefighting Advantage Zones, Land Management Zones and Rural Land Management Zones.The widths and locations of the Zones shown on this map are indicative and the actual widths and location will be determined in consideration of the ACT Fire Management Standards and operational requirements, through the development of Regional Fire Management Plans and Bushfire Operational Plans (including Farm Firewise). Chapter 11 of the SBMP details considerations used in determining the location and extent of Asset Protection Zones adjacent to new and established urban areas.Fire Management Zoning maps will be reviewed as required to reflect significant changes, which may include unplanned bushfires or changes to the location or extent of assets. The Commissioner is responsible for approval of these maps.IMPORTANT NOTICEThe ACT Government is providing this bushfire management map for information purposes only. This data is derived from the best available vegetation. The ACT Government cannot and does not guarantee the accuracy and completeness of any data and information contained on this site as, among other reasons, there may have been changes to land use and vegetation since the map was produced.

This layer represents polygon coverage of Fire Management Zones across the entire State of Victoria, generally on public land. The Fire Management Zone is an area of land which provides a framework for future fuel management programs and whether fire is suitable for managing public land to provide asset protection, bushfire moderation, landscape management or planned burn exclusion.

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).

The Bushfire Boundaries - Historical Dataset (version 2) represents the aggregation of jurisdictional supplied burnt areas polygons that date from the early 1900's through to 2023 (excluding the Northern Territory). The burnt areas represent curated jurisdictional owned polygons of both bushfires and prescribed (planned) burns. This dataset was produced under Work Stream 1C - Activity 3 of the National Bushfire Intelligence Capability; a collaborative partnership between the Australian Climate Services, CSIRO (NBIC), Geoscience Australia (GA), and the Emergency Management Spatial Information Network (EMSINA). Under agreement this Project (Activity 3) will release a nationally consistent, harmonised and standardised historical bushfire boundary dataset derived from the authoritative state and territory agencies in both 2023 (this dataset) and again in November 2024. The information released within this dataset is reflective of the data supplied by participating authoritative agencies. It may, or may not, represent all fire history within that jurisdiction.

This spatial product shows accumulating snapshots of ‘near real-time’ bushfire and prescribed burn extents for all jurisdictions who have the technical ability or appropriate licence conditions to provide this information into the National Near-Real-Time Bushfire Extents product. This dataset can be accessed via the Digital Atlas of Australia: https://digital.atlas.gov.au/maps/64e4825780624e9abdd42e1d49afd27a This is a scientific product and should not be used for safety of life decisions. Please refer to jurisdictional emergency response agencies for incident warnings and information. This product is funded until 30 June 2026.
