Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 Background Under the Rural Fires Act 1997 the Bush Fire Coordinating Committee (BFCC) must constitute a Bush Fire Management Committee (BFMC) for each area in the State, which is subject to the risk of bush fires. Each BFMC is required to prepare and submit to the BFCC a draft Bush Fire Risk Management Plan (BFRMP). A BFRMP is a strategic document that identifies community assets at risk and sets out a five-year program of coordinated multi-agency treatments to reduce the risk of bush fire to the assets. Treatments may include such things as hazard reduction burning, grazing, community education, fire trail maintenance, and establishing community fireguard groups. Annual programs to implement the treatments identified in this plan will be undertaken by the relevant land managers and firefighting authorities. In exercising its functions under the Rural Fires Act 1997, including the preparation of a draft bush fire risk management plan, the Bland Temora BFMC is required to have regard to the principles of ecologically sustainable development (ESD). This document and the accompanying maps together form the BFRMP for the Bland Temora Zone BFMC area. This BFRMP has been prepared by the Bland Temora Zone BFMC and covers both public and private lands. This BFRMP must be reviewed and updated within each successive five-year period from the constitution of the BFMC. The BFCC recognises that climate change has the potential to increase bush fire risk. The risk assessment process applied in this BFRMP is based on current climatic conditions. The BFCC will monitor information on climate change and will modify the process when necessary.

1.2 Aim and Objectives The aim of this BFRMP is to minimise the risk of the adverse impact of bush fires on life, property, and the environment. The objectives of this BFRMP are to: • reduce the number of human-induced bush fire ignitions that cause damage to life, property, and the environment; • manage fuel to reduce the rate of spread and intensity of bush fires while minimising environmental/ecological impacts; • reduce the community’s vulnerability to bush fires by improving its preparedness; and • effectively contain fires with the potential to cause damage to life, property, and the environment.

1.3 Description of the Bland Temora Zone BFMC Area

1.3.1 Location and land tenure The Bland Temora Zone Bush Fire Risk Management area is located in Lower Central West and includes the local government area(s) of Bland and Temora.

The area covered by the Bland Temora Zone BFMC is 1,135,900 hectares and includes the land tenure outlined in Table 1.1.

Land Manager % of BFMC area National Parks and Wildlife Service 1.96 Forestry Corporation of NSW 0.53 Department of Industry - Lands 1.10 Private Land 96.41

Table 1.1 Land Tenure

1.3.2 Climate and bush fire season

The typical/average climate in the Bland Temora Zone experiences temperatures between 26 – 34 degrees Celsius with some periods exceeding 35 degrees, relative humidity of less than 15% and dry westerly winds. This will generally occur from October to March. Rainfall within the area is commonly recognised as being 584mm per year. Rainfall in the summer months is usually attached with storm events producing short heavy downpours, resulting in minor to local short term flooding.

The typical bushfire danger period commences from the 1st October to 31st March. This may be altered in consultation with Group Officer, Captains, Stakeholders and the BFMC.

Days of increased fire danger weather will generally occur during January and February.

1.3.3 Population and demographic information Bland Shire Bland District has the majority of its human settlement centred on the town of . Other areas of settlement are the villages of Wyalong, Barmedman, , Tallimba, Ungarie, Weethalle, Naradhan and Kikoira. The population of the Bland Shire is approximately 5,9721. West Wyalong is on an interconnecting route between Melbourne and Brisbane (Newell Highway) and to Adelaide (Mid-Western Highway). Transport companies as well as the general public share both of these routes. Temora District is predominantly a dryland farming district with the majority of the human settlement residing in the Temora urban area. The remaining population resides in villages , Springdale and Trungley Hall. The population of the district is approximately 6,3072. The remainder

of the population resides on farms scattered throughout the district, including smaller rural village areas of Combaning South, Mimosa, Tara–, Quandary, Pucawan, Pinnacle, Reefton and . Temora is located 85km north of in the Lower Central West Plains weather district. The major roads that pass through Temora are the which travels from east to west and Goldfields Way which travels south to north.

1.3.4 History of bush fire frequency and ignition cause The Bland Temora Zone BFMC area has on average 150 bush fires per year, of which 3 on average can be considered to be major fires.

The main sources of ignition in the Bland Temora Zone BFMC area are: • Lightning • Farming Equipment • Breach Permit

Lightning generally occurs between December and February with summer storms, particularly to the North/North West of the Zone. Farming equipment is a likely contributor to ignitions in the November – December months during the harvest period. The Bland Temora Zone BFMC manages the use of fire for land management over the bushfire danger period with the permit issuing system. Days of increased fire danger rating of Very High and above will see permits cancelled.

Chapter 2. Identifying and Assessing the Bush Fire Risk

2.1 Process The /New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4360:2004 Risk Management was used as the basis for the risk assessment process. See Figure 2.1 for the steps involved. For a detailed description of the process undertaken; see the Bush Fire Risk Management Planning Guidelines for Bush Fire Management Committees on the RFS website: www.rfs.nsw.gov.au.

2.2 Communication and Consultation Community participation is an integral part of risk management. The Community Participation Strategy involved developing and implementing a process to address the needs, issues and concerns of stakeholders within the BFMC area in regards to the BFRMP. See Appendix 1 for the Community Participation Strategy used by the Bland Temora Zone BFMC in preparing this BFRMP.

2.3 Identifying the Bush Fire Risk Identifying the level of bush fire risk firstly involved identifying important community assets considered to be at risk from bush fire in the Bland Temora BFMC area, and then assessing the likelihood and consequence ratings.

2.3.1 Assets BFMC members and the community, including RFS volunteers, identified assets within the Bland Temora BFMC that they believed were at risk of bush fire. The assets were divided into four asset types: Human settlement • Residential areas including urban bushland interface areas and rural properties; • Special Fire Protection areas including schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and tourist facilities; and • Other human settlement areas including commercial and industrial areas where distinct from major towns. • Neighbourhood Safer Place (NSP) is defined by the Rural Fires Act 1997 as land or a building designated as a neighbourhood safer place under section 62C. NSPs provide a place of last resort for people during a bush fire. All designated NSP locations for NSW are available at www.rfs.nsw.gov.au. Economic • Agricultural; e.g. major silos, regional saleyards, cropping/grazing land; • Commercial/industrial e.g. major industries, waste treatment plants, sawmills; • Infrastructure e.g. large power lines, gas and oil pipelines, railway lines, electricity substations, communication facilities; • Tourist and recreational e.g. tourist sites and facilities, resorts, retreats; • Mines; • Commercial forests e.g. pine plantations, eucalypt plantations and commercial native forests; and • Drinking water catchments. Environmental • Threatened species, populations and ecological communities and Ramsar wetlands; • Locally important species and ecological communities, such as species and ecological communities especially sensitive to fire Cultural • Aboriginal significance – Aboriginal places and items of significance; • Non-indigenous heritage – places and items arising from the early occupation of NSW by European or other non-indigenous settlers; and • Other cultural assets – community halls, clubs and recreational facilities.

See Appendix 2 for the full list of assets identified in the Bland Temora Zone BFMC area. See maps North, South and Temora for the location of assets to be treated under this BFRMP.

2.3.2 Assessing the Bush Fire Risk - Consequence Once the assets were identified, the consequence of a bush fire impacting on these assets was assessed. See Appendix 2 for the consequence ratings assigned to each asset identified in the Bland Temora Zone BFMC area. The different asset types had different assessment processes used to determine the consequence. These processes are identified below. Human settlement A potential fire behaviour model using vegetation type, slope and separation distance was used to produce a threat rating for human settlement assets. The vulnerability of the asset to a bush fire was also assessed and a rating assigned. These ratings were then used to assess the consequence of a bush fire impacting upon a human settlement asset. Special Fire Protection (SFP) assets were considered inherently more vulnerable to bush fire due to mobility capacity, knowledge or other issues relating to their inhabitants, (e.g. the elderly, infirm, children or tourists) and therefore stricter requirements for vulnerability assessment and rating were applied. Due to circumstances surrounding NSPs and their use during a bush fire, stricter requirements for vulnerability assessment and rating will also apply to these assets.

Economic The level of economic impact e.g. local, regional or state, as well as the economic recovery costs (how long and complicated a financial recovery will be) of the asset, were identified. These ratings were used to assess the consequence of a bush fire impacting upon an economic asset. • Agricultural; e.g. major silos, regional saleyards, cropping/grazing land; • Commercial/industrial e.g. major industries, waste treatment plants, sawmills; • Infrastructure e.g. large power lines, gas and oil pipelines, railway lines, electricity substations, communication facilities; • Tourist and recreational e.g. tourist sites and facilities, resorts, retreats; • Mines; • Commercial forests e.g. pine plantations, eucalypt plantations and commercial native forests; and • Drinking water catchments.

Environmental Environmental assets with known minimum fire threshold were assessed to determine if they were at risk of a bush fire within the 5-year life of the BFRMP using fire history data. Those environmental assets which were within or above the fire threshold were not assessed in the BFRMP, as the negative impact of a fire within the 5-year period was determined as being low and may even be of benefit to the asset and surrounding habitat. The vulnerability of an environmental asset was determined by its conservation status and its geographic extent (distribution across the landscape). Vulnerability and potential fire behaviour model using fuel load, slope and proximity were used to assess the consequence of a bush fire impacting upon an environmental asset. • Threatened species, populations and ecological communities and Ramsar wetlands; • Locally important species and ecological communities, such as species and ecological communities especially sensitive to fire. Cultural For non-indigenous historical, Aboriginal and other cultural assets a potential fire behaviour model using fuel load, slope and proximity was used to produce a threat rating. The physical vulnerability of the asset to a bush fire was also assessed. These ratings were then used to assess the consequence of a bush fire impacting upon a cultural asset. • Aboriginal significance – Aboriginal places and items of significance; • Non-indigenous heritage – places and items arising from the early occupation of NSW by European or other non-indigenous settlers; and • Other cultural assets – community halls, clubs and recreational facilities.

See Appendix 2 for the full list of assets identified in the Bland Temora BFMC area. See maps for the location of assets to be treated under this BFRMP.

2.3.3 Assessing the Bush Fire Risk - Likelihood For all asset types, the likelihood of a bush fire occurring was assessed. This involves considering fire history, including ignition cause and patterns, known fire paths, access, containment potential and potential fire run (size of the vegetated area). See Appendix 2 for the likelihood ratings assigned to each asset identified in the Bland Temora Zone BFMC area.

2.3.4 Identifying the level of risk The consequence and likelihood ratings were then used to identify the level of risk. See Appendix 2 for the risk ratings assigned to each asset identified in the Bland Temora Zone BFMC area.

2.3.5 Evaluating the Bush Fire Risk Once the risk ratings for each asset were identified, they were evaluated to: a) Confirm that risk levels identified in the risk analysis process are appropriate and reflect the relative seriousness of the bush fire risk; b) Identify which assets require treatments; and c) Identify treatment priorities.

2.3.6 Prioritising Treatments No organisation has limitless resources to deal with adverse risk. It is therefore necessary to define priorities. The bush fire risk ratings determined were used to prioritise treatments, i.e. areas of

Page 13 of 34

extreme risk were considered first for treatment, then very high, then high then medium then low. It was also necessary to prioritise within the risk levels i.e. determining which of the high risk was the most serious. This was done based on the consequence and likelihood ratings.

2.3.7 Risk Acceptability Risks below a certain level were assessed as not requiring treatment within the life of this plan. This is due to a combination of low risk priority and capacity to undertake works. Within the Bland Temora Zone BFMC area, the level of acceptability is medium. Areas of medium and low risk are likely to be managed by routine procedures and so do not require a specific application of resources. All NSPs for a BFMC area will require ongoing treatment by the applicable landowner to ensure that the asset remains viable as a place of last resort for people during a bush fire. Therefore, all NSP assets are allocated specific treatments in this Plan, regardless of the level of bush fire risk identified and the risk acceptability nominated by the Bland Temora Zone BFMC.

Chapter 3. Treating the Risk

3.1 Bush Fire Management Zones Bush Fire Management Zones were identified within the Bland Temora Zone BFMC area and mapped (see maps). These zones identify the fire management intent for a specific area. See Table 3.1 for descriptions of the zones and their purposes. The four categories of Bush Fire Management Zones are: • Asset Protection Zone (APZ); • Strategic Fire Advantage Zone (SFAZ); • Land Management Zone (LMZ); and • Fire Exclusion Zone (FEZ). Some of these zones (usually Land Management Zones) may be further classified within this category by the land manager, e.g. LMZ -Heritage Management Zone (NPWS). LMZs that have been identified as a polygon on the map will have defined management objectives. Below is a list of each identified LMZ and its associated management objectives.

NB: OFH refers the Overall Fuel Hazard Guide as described in the document published by (Dept. of Sustainability and Environment 3rd ed. 1999 & NPWS version); State-wide procedures for assessment of fuel hazard will be developed in conjunction with the BFCC.

Note: All areas that are not mapped or described as APZs or SFAZs are considered as LMZs

3.2 BFMC Wide Treatments BFMC wide treatments are activities which reduce the overall bush fire risk within the BFMC area and are undertaken on an ongoing basis as part of normal business. These treatments are not linked to specific assets in the BFRMP, rather they are applied across all or part of the BFMC area as designated by legislation or agency policy. BFMC wide treatments include the following: • Reviewing the bush fire prone land map These maps identify bush fire prone land and are used to trigger whether a development application is assessed using Planning for Bush Fire Protection3. • Ensuring developments in bush fire prone land comply with Planning for Bush Fire Protection This assessment process requires new applications for development to include bush fire protection measures. • Using the Local Environment Plan/s (LEPs) to control developments in areas with a bush fire risk LEPs can be used to exclude development in extreme bush fire risk areas or where bush fire protection measures cannot be incorporated. • Varying the standard bush fire danger period as required In years where the weather is particularly adverse the bush fire danger period may be brought in early or extended. This is assessed every year by the BFMC. • Requiring permits during the bush fire danger period In the bush fire danger period a fire safety permit is required to light a fire in the open. Permits specify conditions such as firefighting equipment that must be on site or restrict burns based on weather conditions. • Prosecution of offenders Under the Rural Fires Act 1997 persons may be prosecuted for breaching the conditions on a fire permit, lighting a fire during a Total Fire Ban, allowing fire to escape their property, or other breaches of the Act. • Investigation of bush fire cause All bush fires which do not have a known cause are investigated to identify how they started. • Normal fire suppression activities Responding to bush fire is a normal business activity for the firefighting authorities. • Assessing and managing compliance with strategic firefighting resource allocation provisions Strategic firefighting resource allocation provisions is the process used to identify the number of stations, brigades and appliances required in an area, and considers members, training, assets and hazards.

• Preparation of a Section 52 Operations Coordination Plan The Operations Coordination Plan is prepared biannually and sets out how coordinated firefighting will occur. It includes specific operational restrictions on firefighting techniques in certain areas, where fires will be managed from, and how agencies involved can communicate during operations. • Fire Management Plans or Plans of Management Some land management agencies have developed fire management plans or plans of management with specific fire or fuel management strategies, for example, a Forests NSW Regional Fuel Management Risk Plan, a NPWS Fire Management Strategy. These publicly exhibited plans form the basis for operational fire planning on public parks, reserves and forests. • Bush Fire Hazard Complaints If someone is concerned about possible bush fire hazards on a neighbouring property or any other land, then this can be reported to the RFS Commissioner or their local RFS Fire Control Centre. The complaint will be investigated and may result in a notice being issued to the landowner or manager to reduce the hazard. • Grazing The use of grazing as a means of hazard reduction is a treatment widely used throughout the Bland Temora Zone BFMC area by landholders.

3.3 Asset Specific Treatments There are five broad strategy groups available to treat the bush fire risk to assets identified in the BFRMP. The types of asset specific treatments in each strategy group used in the Bland Temora Zone BFMC area are listed below. A full list of the treatment strategies in the Bland Temora BFMC area are in Appendix 2.

Chapter 4. Performance Monitoring and Reviewing

4.1 Review This BFRMP must be reviewed and updated within each successive five-year period from the constitution of the BFMC. The Bland Temora Zone BFMC will also review this plan as necessary to account for any changes in context or risk. This may be triggered by a range of circumstances, including but not limited to: • changes to the BFMC area, organisational responsibilities or legislation; • changes to the bush fire risk in the area; or • following a major fire event.

4.2 Monitoring The BFMC is required to monitor progress towards the completion of treatment works listed in the BFRMP, and the timeliness of the works.

4.3 Reporting The BFMC is required to report annually to the BFCC on its progress in implementing the bush fire risk management activities identified in this plan.

4.4 Performance Measurements State wide performance measurements which are linked to the BFRMP have been identified by the BFCC. All BFMCs must use these to monitor and report on their success in reducing the bush fire risk in their BFMC area.
