Foreword

Working together, Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic*) and the Country Fire Authority (CFA) have developed this Joint Fuel Management Program which covers the Loddon Mallee FFMVic Region and North West CFA Region. It demonstrates our commitment to working more closely together to deliver the best bushfire risk reduction outcomes for Victorians. The Joint Fuel Management Program is planned to achieve an integrated and risk-focused fuel management program across public and private land. It is designed to implement long-term bushfire management strategies that outline how the risk of bushfires is managed for the protection of life and property on public and private land, while maintaining and improving natural ecosystems. During the 2019/20 summer, we saw devastating bushfires across eastern , which have had significant impacts on our communities and the environment. In response, we have developed a Joint Fuel Management Program which implements our strategies to achieve or maintain residual risk at or below set targets but also supports our plan for managing landscape-scale bushfire propagation and the reduction of risk to ecosystems from these large fires. In some places, this may include identifying burns in recently burnt landscapes, with consideration given to the local context. We also acknowledge the significant change during the past year with the establishment of Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) on 1 July 2020. This occurred as part of the Fire Services Reform involving CFA and the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. The reform process will see the establishment of new FRV areas for Metropolitan and key cities and larger towns across the State. The role that FRV will play in the planning and delivery of future JFMPs will be established as the reform process continues.

The following program has been shaped by a variety of research and local information, such as specialist input from FFMVic, CFA staff and volunteers and key industries, as well as knowledge from local communities, including Traditional Owners and key stakeholders. We would like to recognise the work that has been put into developing this Joint Fuel Management Program, by FFMVic, CFA and the local communities. We encourage your continued input to ensure our plans protect those assets and values which are important to all Victorians.

Joint Fuel Management Program

This Joint Fuel Management Program (JFMP) lists fuel management activities in the Loddon Mallee DELWP Region and the North West CFA Region only. It covers Mallee and Murray Goldfields DELWP Districts and CFA Districts 2, 18 and 20 (Map 1). The schedules contained within this document set out where and when activities are planned to occur for the period from 2020/21 to 2022/23. The planned activities are listed by Lead Agency. To view all fuel management works in your area, the statewide Joint Fuel Management Program map can be viewed at http://www.ffm.vic.gov.au/jfmp. This document contains the following details: Planned Burns - fuel reduction, ecological, cultural and other planned burns by indicative year for the three- year period. Non-Burning Fuel Treatments - the program of works that uses methods other than burning to achieve fuel management objectives. Fire season preparation works – works done prior to the fire season, to ensure infrastructure used in fire detection and suppression are ready for use. Cultural burning – planned burns led by Traditional Owners on their Country using fire for a number of purposes. It is important to note that the ability to carry out planned activities is dependent on seasonal and local weather conditions. To allow for this, planned burns from the second and third years of the program may be brought forward to the current year to replace a burn planned for the first year. Map 1: DELWP and CFA Districts included on this Joint Fuel Management Program

The JFMP is prepared and will be implemented in accordance with Safer Together: A new approach to reducing the risk of bushfire in Victoria, the Code of Practice for Bushfire Management on Public Land 2012 and relevant CFA and FFMVic Instructions, Manuals and Guidelines. Burns on public land associated with logging regeneration as well as small heap burns are not included in the JFMP as they are approved as part of separate planning processes.

Our Objectives

This JFMP has been developed to implement strategies set out in the draft Loddon Mallee Bushfire Management Strategy (BMS), which has been developed by FFMVic and CFA in consultation with agencies, stakeholders and the community. The BMS will replace the West Central, Mallee Murray Goulburn and South West Bushfire Risk Landscapes Strategic Bushfire Management Plan and establishes a cross-tenure fuel management strategy to address the bushfire risk across public and private land. It sets clear objectives and associated performance measures for fire management at a regional scale. It identifies where important values and assets are located across the landscape, as well as regional trends including population, industry and environmental change. The BMS defines the configuration of fire management zones across the region that focus appropriate fire management activities to reduce bushfire risk for identified values and promote ecological resilience over the life of the strategy (30-40 years). Importantly, the BMS identifies Bushfire Risk Engagement Areas (BREA) across public and private land. These areas are intended to support agencies to engage with private landholders about fuel management where it will provide effective bushfire risk reduction. The cross-agency planning process was overseen by the Loddon Mallee Regional Strategic Fire Management Planning Committee (RSFMPC), who have given in principle endorsement of the Bushfire Management Strategy. It is complementary to the Loddon Mallee Regional Strategic Fire Management Plan.

Residual Risk The draft Loddon Mallee Bushfire Management Strategy contributes to achieving the Victorian Government Statewide risk reduction objective, which commits to maintaining bushfire risk at or below a residual risk of 70% in the long-term. Residual risk is the risk, on average, that bushfires will impact on life and property across the landscape. It is expressed as the percentage of the risk that remains after bushfire history and fuel management (mainly planned burning) activities are considered. It is reported on an annual basis. Each District works towards managing the local bushfire risk through identifying planned burns and other fuel management works, which collectively will meet the Statewide risk reduction target. This JFMP aims to meet or exceed the regional residual risk targets and to enable the delivery of bushfire management strategies other than residual risk. It provides flexibility to account for different seasonal conditions. This may mean that not all planned burns and other works in Year 1 are carried out, which may mean that the projected residual risk is not achieved. Implementation of the JFMP will see residual risk in the Mallee District and the Murray Goldfields District (MGD) decrease. The MGD has historically maintained risk above 80%, but in 2015 this fell to an all-time low of 60%, following years of targeted planned burns. As fuels reaccumulate in these areas risk levels will rise, but priority burns in high risk areas will maintain community safety at the highest possible level. Areas where risk is returning will be re-burnt once sufficient time has passed for adequate fuel accumulation and/or maintenance of ecosystem health. Treatments planned to the west of the Macedon Ranges Shire in the Midlands District have a significant impact on the residual risk profile in the MGD.

Non-burning fuel treatments Non-burning fuel treatment can include mulching, slashing or other operations which do not involve planned burning to reduce fuel loads. The work is an important contributor to reducing bushfire risk to communities as non-burning treatments may be more appropriate or practical in certain areas. For example, fuel on small areas located within or close to townships may be slashed or mulched, where burning is impractical. These methods may also be more suitable in certain vegetation types. Some of these fuel treatments are annual, with others prioritised based on the seasonal conditions and scheduling of specific planned burns. The actual treatment area will be dependent on the condition of the fuels at the time of assessment. The Safer Together Project– & Castlemaine Bushfire Mitigation Plan is a project that aims to identify and treat areas of public land and private property to reduce the bushfire risk within the townships of Bendigo and Castlemaine. The works identified in the project are aimed at complementing DELWP and other agencies planned burning programs with a key focus on strategic breaks, access and egress, good track

signage as well as having defendable space around homes and private property. The works entail installation of new signs, maintenance and upgrades of identified strategic tracks and vegetation modification including slashing & mulching.

Cultural Burning

Cultural fire is fire deliberately put into the landscape authorised and lead by the Traditional Owners of that Country for a variety of purposes, including ceremony, protection of cultural and natural assets, fuel reduction, regeneration and management of food, fibre and medicines, flora regeneration, fauna habitat protection and healing Country’s spirit. We are guided by the Victorian Traditional Owner Cultural Fire Strategy which provides policy direction and a framework for fire and land management agencies to better enable Traditional Owners to undertake cultural burning for these cultural objectives. There are six principles underpinning this strategy:  cultural burning is right fire, right time, right way and for the right (cultural reasons), according to lore;  burning is a cultural responsibility;  cultural fire is living knowledge;  monitoring, evaluation and research support cultural fire objectives and enable adaptive learning;  Country is managed holistically; and  cultural fire is healing. The Strategy was authored by Victorian Traditional Owners with the support of a partnership between the Federation of Victorian Traditional Owner Corporations, DELWP, Parks Victoria and the CFA. FFMVic and CFA recognises that cultural burning can assist landholders and communities in the use of fire to care for Country. The sharing of knowledge by our local Traditional Owners as well as from indigenous peoples from other parts of Australia will assist in improving our adaptive fire management practices in Victoria. This builds on supporting community through learning about how we live with fire. Working together to foster knowledge sharing is an important way to enable participation of Aboriginal communities. Working with Traditional Owners there are a significant number of cultural burns nominated on this JFMP, a reflection of the strong commitment to working with Traditional Owners to help heal country and facilitate the reintroduction of Aboriginal fire practices into the future. The following table is a summary of cultural burns nominated and led by Traditional Owners with support from Forest Fire Management Victoria and CFA.

Glossary

This glossary provides information on terms contained within the body of this document and the schedules. BREA - Bushfire Risk Engagement Areas. Burn Type – indicates the primary purpose of the burn. Burn Number and Name– the unique identifier for each burn or planned fuel management activity. Cross-tenure burn – a burn that covers both public and private land Fire Management Zone (FMZ) – an area of public land in which fire is managed for specific asset, fuel and ECO objectives. Values included in this column can be APZ - Asset Protection Zone; BMZ – Bushfire Moderation Zone; LMZ - Landscape Management Zone, PBEZ – Planned Burn Exclusion Zone; or, NZ -Not Zoned. Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) – FFMVic consists of specialist staff from DELWP, Parks Victoria, Melbourne Water and VicForests. Land Management Objective - identifies the desired land management outcome(s) of the burn. Lead Agency - The Lead Agency for a planned burn is determined by the burns distance from public land. Within 1.5 km of public land, planned burning on non-public land falls within DELWP’s legislative scope and DELWP can choose to be the Lead Agency. If it is outside 1.5 km of public land, DELWP is unable to undertake the planned burn; instead, the CFA will be the Lead Agency to undertake that burn. Local Government Area (LGA) – the municipality in which most of the fuel management activity is located. Location – a direction and distance of the planned burn from the nearest major township/locality. Planned Burns - Planned burning is one of FFMVic and CFA’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 (FRB), ecological (ECO) management and forest regeneration (REG). It is important to understand that planned burning operations 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 firefighters have a much better chance of managing bushfires in areas where planned burns have been carried out. Approved burns in this year’s Plan will require a range of preparation works to make the planned area ready to ignite when the weather and other conditions are right. Preparation works may include, brushing up or grading of existing boundaries and internal tracks, management of hazardous trees, the construction and preparation of boundary and control lines with machinery and pest plant controls. The preparation works will have on-site inspections which will assess the surrounding assets and planned burn objectives. Private Property Burn – burn that occurs wholly on private land. Planned Burn Size – the maximum area of the fuel management activity measured in hectares (ha), including areas specifically excluded from disturbance. Residual Risk - The impacts on life and property that remain after planned burning and bushfires, we call the 'residual risk'. If residual risk is 100 per cent – there has been no fire in the landscape and no fuel reduced and we are at maximum risk where fires will spread and impact. If residual risk is at 70 per cent – the impacts to life and property will be reduced by about a third. Strategic Fuelbreak: 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. New Burn– ‘NEW’ = New burn did not appear on last year’s JFMP. Blank box = Not a new burn. Burn was approved in the previous JFMP but has not been carried out, it is included in this JFMP and may be conducted at any time. Non-Burning Fuel Treatments – Non-burning fuel treatments 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 (in alignment with safety standards), 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.
