WORKS PROGRAM

LEGEND

Zone Purpose Supression Objectives Zone CharacteristicsAs per RFS document Standards for AssetProtection Zones.

To enable the safe use of Direct Attacksuppression strategies within the zone.To minimise bush fire impacts onundefendable assets.

To protect human life, propertyand highly valued publicassets and values.

Asset ProtectionZone

Strategic FireAdvantageZone

To provide strategic areas offire protection advantagewhich will reduce the speedand intensity of bush fires, andreduce the potential for spotfire development;To aid containment of wildfiresto existing managementboundaries.

ResidentPreparation Zone

To identify that residents havea vital role to play in bush firerisk management and thatthey are responsible for theirown property preparedness.

To increase the preparedness of residentsfor bush fire and ensure that vegetation inclose proximity to residential assets areadequately maintained. To provide adefendable space for residents / firefighters and complement hazard reductionworks carried out within Asset ProtectionZones / Strategic Fire Advantage Zones.

Residents should strive to achieve a 'Fire-Safe'property as outlined in the illustration above.Concerns regarding the bush fire safety ofneighbouring properties should be raised withthe NSW Rural Fire Service.

To improve the likelihood and safe use of:Parallel Attack suppression strategieswithin the zone.and/orIndirect Attack (back burning) in high tovery high fire weather conditions within thezone.To reduce the likelihood of:Crown fire development within the zone.and/orSpot fire ignition potential from the zone.

Zone width related to suppression objectives anddependant upon:•Topography•Aspect•Spotting propensity•Location of adjacent firebreaks•Mosaic pattern of treatmentAssess Overall Fuel Hazard (OFH) oncevegetation communities reach minimum firethresholds within this plan. Management practicesshould aim to achieve mosaic fuel reductionpatterns so that the majority of the SFAZ has anOFH of less than high.
