This program is further reducing risk on public land by supporting early detection and rapid suppression of fires through upgrading fire towers, building new bridges and improving roads. This helps reduce the impact on community and the environment. We undertakes fuel management by planned burning, slashing and mulching to reduce the risk of bushfire on public land.įuel management reduces the spread and intensity of bushfires which makes suppression more achievable and safer. The Reducing Bushfire Risk program is a government initiative to further reduce the risk of bushfire in Victoria. Visit Safer Together Reducing Bushfire Risk Program This information is used to guide and develop yearly Fire Operations Plans that detail our current methods of reducing bushfire risk using a variety of fuel management methods for the next three years in each region. These regional planning frameworks consider bushfire risk across multiple decades. Individual strategies for all Victoria regions are available on the Safer Together website. set out strategies to manage this risk.assesses bushfire risk to those values, and.identify values to be protected from bushfire.We have worked with the community to develop strategic bushfire management planning frameworks that:
It means a more integrated approach across public and private land, with fuel management just one of the range of different management actions we will take to protect lives, homes, jobs and the environment.
This approach sees us move from a hectare target for planned burns, to a risk reduction target for bushfire management. Local communities are involved in decision making about bushfire management all year round – this means understanding what you care about most and working with you to determine local solutions to reduce bushfire risk.
