• A list and map(s) of proposed planned burns; • Details of fire preparedness works, such as the construction and maintenance of strategic fuel and fire breaks, mechanical fuel management works planned for the immediate twelve‐month period; and • A summary of other fire preparedness and prevention‐related works such as maintenance of fire towers or helipads, training and education and enforcement activities. A Fire Operations Plan is prepared for the East Gippsland Area in consultation with communities, local councils, Parks Victoria, CFA and technical specialists within DSE.

SCHEDULE 1: PLANNED BURNS Planned burning is one of DSEs most important fire prevention activities. It involves the controlled setting of fires 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 wildfires. However, Victorian research, and similar information from other parts of and overseas, clearly shows that fire‐ fighters have a much better chance of controlling wildfires 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, internal tracks and other control lines with dozers or graders. Important note: A status of ‘Proposed’ indicates that a burn is new on this Plan. Burns with a status of ‘Planned’ have been approved on the previous years Fire Operations Plan. Previously approved burns may be burnt prior to the approval of the 2010/11 Plan. Proposed Planned Burns 2010/11

SCHEDULE 2: LANDSCAPE MOSAIC BURNS A landscape mosaic burn is one which aims to produce a mosaic of fire intensities and coverage across a larger area in the broader landscape. These burns may have multiple objectives and/or take more than one year to complete, and/or exceed 5000ha in size.

Recent scientific research has found managing fire to maintain a landscape mosaic of different vegetation types and vegetation growth stages will enhance biodiversity at a landscape scale. Managing a fire mosaic landscape creates variation in fuel types and hazard levels. Research has also shown that a landscape scale, a mosaic of fuel hazard levels will reduce the size and intensity of wildfires. As such, it is considered a program of Landscape Mosaic Burning across the state will enhance biodiversity and decrease wildfire severity. This is consistent with current burning practices in that the majority of planned burns undertaken are not intended to be burnt 100% across the planned area. Most planned burns result in a combination of burnt and un‐burnt areas with a variety of intensities.

SCHEDULE 3: STRATEGIC FUELBREAKS The Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) 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 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 DSE’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 fuelbreaks are included on this Fire Operations Plan for information only.

SCHEDULE 4: Non‐burning Fuel Management Program Non‐burning methods of fuel management such as slashing, pruning, mulching or other operations (such as ploughing, herbicide application or rolling) 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.
