Safer Together is the Victorian government’s approach to reducing bushfire risk. In Gippsland all local governments, the CFA, Parks Victoria, EMV and DELWP are working together and with communities to develop a strategic fuel management strategy that will guide bushfire management on both public and private land into the future.
Part of the Strategic Bushfire Management Planning (SBMP) process is to review and amend the public land fuel management strategy, including fire management zoning. This map shows the draft Fire Management Zoning for Gippsland, which has been developed through a series of workshops and from community input through the Engage Victoria website.
The four types of Fire Management Zone are:
Further information can be found in the Code of practice for bushfire management on public land.
In Gippsland, Fire Management Zoning informs the frequency of fuel management or treatment activities including planned burning, slashing and mulching.
Please review the draft Fire Management Zoning shown here during the review period from 7th August to 24th August.
Your contributions to this map, along with feedback and advice from land managers and other stakeholders, will be used to inform the final Fuel Management Zoning (due September 2019).
Please visit the Engage Victoria website to learn more about the SBMP process or provide feedback on other components of this planning process.
