Regional Director’s Foreword

The Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) and Parks Victoria carry out fire prevention activities on Victoria’s public land to help reduce the impacts of bushfires to communities and the environment. Our Fire Operations Plans outline where these fire prevention activities are intended to be carried out over a three year period, if weather and other conditions permit. These activities include planned burning, slashing, mowing and clearing works, track works and construction of fire breaks. Each year we review and update the Gippsland Fire Operations Plan based on the latest local information. The plan is shaped by feedback and knowledge from local communities and key stakeholders such as the CFA, local councils, Parks Victoria, forest managers and technical specialists within DEPI, as well as key industries. The Fire Operations Plans are an important part of our work to reduce the risk of damaging bushfires. We make changes to the plans wherever we can, but the decision to carry out fire prevention activities is always driven by the need to reduce the impacts of bushfires to our local people, property and the environment. DEPI also works with interest groups and the wider community to understand how planned burns may impact people and industries and to gain important local knowledge to better plan burns.

Fire Operations Plan

This document contains the proposed fire prevention and preparedness works to be delivered for the period 2013/14 to 2015/16 within the Gippsland Region. This Plan covers all public land including all national parks, State parks and regional parks and all State forests. Numerous other small reserves and Crown land are also included. The area covered by this Plan is shown in Map 1. The Plan is prepared, and will be implemented, in accordance with the Code of Practice for Bushfire Management on Public Land, Fire Management Manual 2.1: Fire Operations Planning and other relevant DEPI Instructions, Manuals and Guidelines. The Code of Practice for Bushfire Management on Public Land has just been reviewed. To access a copy of the Code, visit www.depi.vic.gov.au, DEPI Home > Fire & Emergencies > Managing and Fighting Fire. The Code establishes a framework for bushfire management (including planned burning and bushfire response) on Victoria's public land. The objectives for the fire management zones are outlined in the Code and form the basis of this Fire Operations Plan. It should be noted that burns associated with logging regeneration as well as small heap and grass burns are not included in the Fire Operation Planning process. The locations of strategic fuelbreaks are included for information only. These activities are approved via other DEPI and Parks Victoria processes.

Summary of 2012/13

Weather conditions at the start of 2012-13 were wet due to heavy rain across Gippsland in June 2012. However rainfall was normal to slightly less than normal from July to November, which presented some opportunities for planned burning during spring, mainly in the Asset Protection and Bushfire Moderation Zones. Windstorms in September produced tree damage and wind-throw which required additional works for fire access and burn preparation. A hot, dry continental air-mass developed across central Australia in late December and continued through January which resulted in extreme fire weather conditions in Gippsland. Lightning activity resulted in numerous fires during December, January and February. The conditions resulted in a very busy fire season with a total of 175 fires and 105,000ha burnt; the majority of fires (80%) were controlled to less than 5 ha. There were 2 major bushfires in Gippsland, the Harrietville – Alpine South fire; the southern portion of which (14,437ha) was managed by Gippsland; and the Aberfeldy – Donnellys fire (86,840ha). Fire weather conditions quickly moderated in East Gippsland in March, which enabled % of Gippsland’s planned burning program of 97,600ha to be completed by mid-April. Wet conditions delayed the start of planned burning in the remainder of Gippsland, but dry conditions during May allowed a concerted effort to achieve a total area treated by planned burning of 114,942ha (244 burns) for Gippsland.

Preparation of a Fire Operations Plan

The development of a Fire Operations Plan involves the identification of planned burns and other works by DEPI, Parks Victoria and other interested stakeholders. Values and priorities must be balanced in the development of the Plan including:  relevant legislation and Departmental policies relating to environmental and cultural heritage protection, and Important note: emergency management; The ability to carry out burns is dependent on seasonal  various Departmental fire instructions and guidelines, particularly the Fire Operations Planning Manual 2.1; and local weather conditions. To allow for this, planned burns from the second and third years of the Plan are  relevant Fire Protection/Fire Management Plans; considered as contingencies for the first year. This  the Code of Practice for Timber Production; means that a second or third year burn may be brought  relevant Forest Management and Park Management Plans; forward to the current year to replace a burn planned for the first year.  biodiversity, soil, water, economic and cultural values within the District; and  environmental, cultural or economic strategies which could be impacted by the Plan’s implementation. Where necessary, prescriptions for particular values maybe specified for each burn which are then incorporated into individual Burn Plans. These prescriptions are reviewed annually to take into account experience from burning operations in the previous season. How to read the Fire Operations Plan Each Fire Operations Plan consists of District Sub Plans containing a number of District Schedules, followed by Regional schedules. District Schedules: Schedule 1 – Planned Burns. This schedule lists planned fuel reduction, ecological and other planned burns by indicative year for the three year period. Schedule 2 – Works Program. This schedule lists the fuel management works program to support the planned burning program. Schedule 3 – Strategic Fuelbreaks. This schedule provides an overview of strategic fuelbreaks to be constructed or maintained during the three year period.

BAIRNSDALE DISTRICT

SCHEDULE 1: Planned Burns Planned burning is one of DEPI’s most important fire prevention activities. It involves the controlled application of fire during periods of lower fire risk, to achieve one of three main purposes: fuel reduction, ecological management and forest regeneration. It is important to understand that planned burning operations, particularly fuel reduction burns, do not stop or eliminate the risk of bushfires. However, Victorian research, and similar information from other parts of Australia and overseas, clearly shows that fire-fighters have a much better chance of controlling bushfires in areas where fuel reduction burns have been carried out. Approved burns in this year’s Plan will require ground works. Ground works will be assessed through on-site inspections which will look at surrounding assets and planned burn objectives. Works may include pest plant controls, brushing up of existing boundaries and internal tracks and the construction or preparation of other control lines with machinery. Please note that the years identified for planned burning are indicative only and may be changed due to weather conditions and operations requirements.

SCHEDULE 2: Works Program Works such as the maintenance and construction of fire control lines, fire access tracks, fuel breaks, fire infrastructure and other fuel management activities are required to support the planned burning program. Treatments to achieve these works can include slashing, pruning, chemical application, grazing or other operations (such as ploughing, mulching or rolling) that may be more appropriate or practical in certain areas. For example, fuel on small areas or blocks located within townships may be treated mechanically, where burning is impractical. These methods may also be more suitable in certain vegetation types. The tables below contain a summary of proposed works over the following year. Some of these works are annual, with others prioritised based on the seasonal conditions and which planned burns are scheduled. Accompanying maps provide detail on where these works activities are located. Note that the maps show approximate areas only and actual treatment area will be dependent on the condition of the fuels at the time of assessment. Please contact your local DEPI fire management staff if further detail is required.

SCHEDULE 3: Strategic Fuelbreaks The Department of Environment and Primary Industry (DEPI) and Parks Victoria are working together to establish and maintain a network of strategic fuelbreaks to expand the protection of communities, forests and parks from the threat of bushfire. A strategic fuelbreak is a strip of land where vegetation has been modified to reduce the amount of fuel available to burn during a bushfire. Strategic fuelbreaks are an important tool for fire management on public land. They provide a fuel-reduced area from which to conduct back burning ahead of an approaching bushfire or during DEPI’s planned burning season. Machinery is used to clear vegetation generally within a 15-20 metre wide strip. In some instances this width could be up to 40m. Existing roads and tracks are considered part of the clearing. Where possible, overstorey trees are retained to provide shading and connection between the trees for wildlife and landscape values. Strategic fuelbreak construction is included on this Fire Operations Plan for information only; it is approved via a separate DEPI planning process.

No Strategic fuelbreaks are being maintained in this District

SCHEDULE 1: Planned Burns Planned burning is one of DEPI’s most important fire prevention activities.It involves the controlled application of fire during periods of lower fire risk, to achieve one of three main purposes: fuel reduction, ecological management and forest regeneration. It is important to understand that planned burning operations, particularly fuel reduction burns, do not stop or eliminate the risk of bushfires. However, Victorian research, and similar information from other parts of Australia and overseas, clearly shows that fire-fighters have a much better chance of controlling bushfires in areas where fuel reduction burns have been carried out. Approved burns in this year’s Plan will require ground works. Ground works will be assessed through on-site inspections which will look at surrounding assets and planned burn objectives. Works may include pest plant controls, brushing up of existing boundaries and internal tracks and the construction or preparation of other control lines with machinery. Please note that the years identified for planned burning are indicative only and may be changed due to weather conditions and operations requirements.

SCHEDULE 2: Works Program Works such as the maintenance and construction of fire control lines, fire access tracks, fuel breaks, fire infrastructure and other fuel management activities are required to support the planned burning program. Treatments to achieve these works can include slashing, pruning, chemical application, grazing or other operations (such as ploughing, mulching or rolling) that may be more appropriate or practical in certain areas. For example, fuel on small areas or blocks located within townships may be treated mechanically, where burning is impractical. These methods may also be more suitable in certain vegetation types. The tables below contain a summary of proposed works over the following year. Some of these works are annual, with others prioritised based on the seasonal conditions and which planned burns are scheduled. Accompanying maps provide detail on where these works activities are located. Note that the maps show approximate areas only, and actual treatment area will be dependent on the condition of the fuels at the time of assessment. Please contact your local DEPI fire management staff if further detail is required.

SCHEDULE 2: Works Program Works such as the maintenance and construction of fire control lines, fire access tracks, fuel breaks, fire infrastructure and other fuel management activities are required to support the planned burning program. Treatments to achieve these works can include slashing, pruning, chemical application, grazing or other operations (such as ploughing, mulching or rolling) that may be more appropriate or practical in certain areas. For example, fuel on small areas or blocks located within townships may be treated mechanically, where burning is impractical. These methods may also be more suitable in certain vegetation types. The tables below contain a summary of proposed works over the following three years. Some of these works are annual, with others prioritised based on the seasonal conditions and which planned burns are scheduled. Accompanying maps provide detail on where these works activities are located. Note that the maps show approximate areas only, and actual treatment area will be dependent on the condition of the fuels at the time of assessment. Please contact your local DEPI fire management staff if further detail is required.

SCHEDULE 3: Strategic Fuelbreaks

The Department of Environment and Primary Industry (DEPI) and Parks Victoria are working together to establish and maintain a network of strategic fuelbreaks to expand the protection of communities, forests and parks from the threat of bushfire. A strategic fuelbreak is a strip of land where vegetation has been modified to reduce the amount of fuel available to burn during a bushfire. Strategic fuelbreaks are an important tool for fire management on public land. They provide a fuel-reduced area from which to conduct back burning ahead of an approaching bushfire or during DEPI’s planned burning season. Machinery is used to clear vegetation generally within a 15-20 metre wide strip. In some instances this width could be up to 40m. Existing roads and tracks are considered part of the clearing. Where possible, overstorey trees are retained to provide shading and connection between the trees for wildlife and landscape values. Strategic fuelbreak construction is included on this Fire Operations Plan for information only; it is approved via a separate DEPI planning process.

SCHEDULE 2: Works Program Works such as the maintenance and construction of fire control lines, fire access tracks, fuel breaks, fire infrastructure and other fuel management activities are required to support the planned burning program. Treatments to achieve these works can include slashing, pruning, chemical application, grazing or other operations (such as ploughing, mulching or rolling) that may be more appropriate or practical in certain areas. For example, fuel on small areas or blocks located within townships may be treated mechanically, where burning is impractical. These methods may also be more suitable in certain vegetation types. The tables below contain a summary of proposed works over the following year. Some of these works are annual, with others prioritised based on the seasonal conditions and which planned burns are scheduled. Accompanying maps provide detail on where these works activities are located. Note that the maps show approximate areas only, and actual treatment area will be dependent on the condition of the fuels at the time of assessment. Please contact your local DEPI fire management staff if further detail is required.

SCHEDULE 2: Works Program Works such as the maintenance and construction of fire control lines, fire access tracks, fuel breaks, fire infrastructure and other fuel management activities are required to support the planned burning program. Treatments to achieve these works can include slashing, pruning, chemical application, grazing or other operations (such as ploughing, mulching or rolling) that may be more appropriate or practical in certain areas. For example, fuel on small areas or blocks located within townships may be treated mechanically, where burning is impractical. These methods may also be more suitable in certain vegetation types. The tables below contain a summary of proposed works over the following three years. Some of these works are annual, with others prioritised based on the seasonal conditions and which planned burns are scheduled. Accompanying maps provide detail on where these works activities are located. Note that the maps show approximate areas only, and actual treatment area will be dependent on the condition of the fuels at the time of assessment. Please contact your local DEPI fire management staff if further detail is required. Fuel Management Works 2013/14
