Hastings BFMC BushFire Risk Management

Plan 2013

North - Map Display Area

Map 1 of 5

This Bush Fire Risk Management Plan (BFRMP) has been prepared by the HastingsBush Fire Management Committee (BFMC) pursuant to section 52 of the Rural FiresAct 1997.

The aim of this BFRMP is to reduce the adverse impact of bush fires on life, propertyand the environment.

The objectives of this BFRMP are to:- reduce the number of human-induced bush fire ignitions that cause damage to life,property or the environment;- manage fuel to reduce the spread and intensity of bush fires while minimisingenvironmental/ecological impacts;- reduce the community's vulnerability to bush fires by improving its preparedness; and- effectively contain fires with a potential to cause damage to life, property and theenvironment.

This map forms part of the BFRMP for the Hastings BFMC, covering the localgovernment area(s) of Hastings. It should be viewed in conjunction with theaccompanying BFRMP document which provides further details on the BFMC area, theassets assessed and the risk assessment process used.

ReviewUnder the Rural Fires Act 1997 this plan must be reviewed and updated within eachsuccessive five year period following the constitution of the BFMC. The HastingsBFMC will also review this plan as necessary. This may be triggered by a range ofcircumstances, including but not limited to:- changes to the BFMC area, organisational reponsibilities or legislation;- changes to the bush fire risk in the area; or- following a major fire event.

Assets

This BFRMP identifies the assets that are considered by the Hastings BFMC andcommunity to be at risk from bush fires, assesses the bush fire risk to each asset andassigns treatments designed to mitigate the risk. Assets in the BFMC area identified asrequiring treatments are listed in the assets table. Other assets within the BFMC areathat were assessed as not requiring treatments within the life of this plan are listed inthe appendix to the BFRMP document. The Map Ref number "NA" denotes non-spatialassets.

Treatments

Specific treatments assigned to assets in the Hastings area are listed in the treatmentstable and linked to the assets which they are designed to protect. Standard BFMC widetreatments (i.e. not linked to a specific asset) which occur on an ongoing basis withinthe BFMC area are:- reviewing the bush fire prone land map;- ensuring developments in the bush fire prone land comply with Planning for BushFire Protection;- using the Local Environment Plan/s (LEPs) to control development in areas with abush fire risk;- varying the standard bush fire danger period as required;- requiring permits during bush fire danger periods- prosecution of arsonists/offenders- investigation of bush fire cause;- normal fire suppression activities;- assessing and managing compliance with strategic fire-fighting resource allocationmanagement systems;- preparation of a S52 Operations Coordination Plan;

Note on LMZ: All areas not specifically mapped as an APZ, SFAZ or FEZ areconsidered as LMZ for this risk management plan. For areas identified by an LMZpolygon on the map, please refer to the BFRMP document for the specific landmanagement objectives.

Hastings BFMC BushFire Risk Management

Plan 2013

Wauchope - Map Display Area

Map 4 of 5

This Bush Fire Risk Management Plan (BFRMP) has been prepared by the HastingsBush Fire Management Committee (BFMC) pursuant to section 52 of the Rural FiresAct 1997.

The aim of this BFRMP is to reduce the adverse impact of bush fires on life, propertyand the environment.

The objectives of this BFRMP are to:- reduce the number of human-induced bush fire ignitions that cause damage to life,property or the environment;- manage fuel to reduce the spread and intensity of bush fires while minimisingenvironmental/ecological impacts;- reduce the community's vulnerability to bush fires by improving its preparedness; and- effectively contain fires with a potential to cause damage to life, property and theenvironment.

This map forms part of the BFRMP for the Hastings BFMC, covering the localgovernment area(s) of Hastings. It should be viewed in conjunction with theaccompanying BFRMP document which provides further details on the BFMC area, theassets assessed and the risk assessment process used.

ReviewUnder the Rural Fires Act 1997 this plan must be reviewed and updated within eachsuccessive five year period following the constitution of the BFMC. The HastingsBFMC will also review this plan as necessary. This may be triggered by a range ofcircumstances, including but not limited to:- changes to the BFMC area, organisational reponsibilities or legislation;- changes to the bush fire risk in the area; or- following a major fire event.

AssetsThis BFRMP identifies the assets that are considered by the Hastings BFMC andcommunity to be at risk from bush fires, assesses the bush fire risk to each asset andassigns treatments designed to mitigate the risk. Assets in the BFMC area identified asrequiring treatments are listed in the assets table. Other assets within the BFMC areathat were assessed as not requiring treatments within the life of this plan are listed inthe appendix to the BFRMP document. The Map Ref number "NA" denotes non-spatialassets.

TreatmentsSpecific treatments assigned to assets in the Hastings area are listed in the treatmentstable and linked to the assets which they are designed to protect. Standard BFMC widetreatments (i.e. not linked to a specific asset) which occur on an ongoing basis withinthe BFMC area are:- reviewing the bush fire prone land map;- ensuring developments in the bush fire prone land comply with Planning for BushFire Protection;- using the Local Environment Plan/s (LEPs) to control development in areas with abush fire risk;- varying the standard bush fire danger period as required;- requiring permits during bush fire danger periods- prosecution of arsonists/offenders- investigation of bush fire cause;- normal fire suppression activities;- assessing and managing compliance with strategic fire-fighting resource allocationmanagement systems;- preparation of a S52 Operations Coordination Plan;

Note on LMZ: All areas not specifically mapped as an APZ, SFAZ or FEZ areconsidered as LMZ for this risk management plan. For areas identified by an LMZpolygon on the map, please refer to the BFRMP document for the specific landmanagement objectives.

DisclaimerThe Hastings BFMC makes every effort to ensure the quality of the informationavailable on this map. Before relying on the information on this map, users shouldcarefully evaluate its accuracy, completeness and relevance for their purposes, andshould obtain any appropriate professional advice relevant to their particularcircumstances.
