Bush Fire Risk Management Plan on Exhibition

This is your opportunity to provide feedback on how the risk of bush fire is managed across our area.

Fire agencies, land managers and other stakeholders have been working to identify ways of reducing the impact of fires on our area – protecting lives, homes, businesses, agriculture, the environment and other assets that are important to the Liverpool Range.

The local Bush Fire Management Committee has developed a draft Bush Fire Risk Management Plan, which identifies the risks and the plans to protect them.

The draft plan identifies the risk to communities and the assets we all value. Using feedback from fire agencies, land managers and other stakeholders, the plan identifies ways of reducing the impact of fires across our area.

Your input is important – and by planning together, we will help shape the Bush Fire Risk Management Plan for our area for the next five years.

Note: As this is a pilot of a new approach to bush fire risk management plans, the initial 'Have your say' stage did not take place for this plan and community members can now provide feedback on the draft plan.

How the Liverpool Range Bush Fire Risk Management Committee have assessed the risk:

Fire is a part of living in the Liverpool Range. It has been a part of this landscape for millions of years. As our population and region changes, the risk of fires impacting on our community has changed.

To understand the bush fire risk in the Liverpool Range, and help inform the best ways of managing and reducing the risk, we’ve looked at what’s important to local communities – including where people live, as well as environmental, economic and cultural assets.

We look at the assets across the landscape, and using computer modelling, we have tested scenarios for possible fire conditions to understand the impact on the community.

Have your say:
