Each year we review and update the Grampians Region Fire Operations Plan based on the latest local information.

The locations of strategic fuelbreaks are included for information only. These activities are approved via other DEPI and Parks Victoria processes. The Fire Operations Plans are an important part of our work to reduce the Map 1: Grampians Region 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. The best way to look at the Grampians Region plan is by visiting www.depi.vic.gov.au/burns to view the interactive map and documents. Alternatively you can drop into any of the DEPI or Parks Victoria offices listed on Page 4. The Approved Fire Operations Plan will be published in October 2013.

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 years 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. Planned Burns 2013/14

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 conducted. 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 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. Planned Burns 2013/14

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 conducted. 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.

Page 45 of 47 Draft 2013/14 – 2015/16 Fire Operations Plan – Grampians Region 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.
