This schedule provides an overview of strategic fuelbreaks to be constructed or maintained during the three year period. The development of a Fire Operations Plan involves the identification of planned burns and other works by DSE, Parks Victoria and other interested stakeholders. Schedule 3 – Mechanical Fuel Management Program. This schedule lists the mechanical fuel management program such as slashing or mulching. A range of values and priorities must be balanced in the development of the Plan. Schedule 4 – Fire Infrastructure Management. This schedule sets out fire including: preparedness works that will be undertaken within the District. • relevant legislation and Departmental policies relating to environmental and cultural heritage protection, and emergency management; • various Departmental fire instructions and guidelines, particularly the Fire Information provided on schedules Operations Planning Manual 2.1; Area – the maximum area of the work site measured in hectares (ha), including areas • relevant Fire Protection/Fire Management Plans; specifically excluded from disturbance. • the Code of Practice for Timber Production; Burn Number and Name / Road Name / Address – an identifier for each burn or planned • relevant Forest Management and Park Management Plans; work site. • biodiversity, soil, water, economic and cultural values within the Region; and Burn Type – indicates the purpose of the burn including fuel reduction burn (FRB), • environmental, cultural or economic strategies which could be impacted by the ecological burn (ECO).

Page 4 of 44 Final 2011/12 – 2013/14 Fire Operations Plan – Gippsland Region (East Gippsland Area) 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 bushfires. However, Victorian research, and similar information from other parts of 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 of preparation of other control lines with dozers or graders. Where burn boundaries align with strategic fire access roads; these boundaries may be cleared not more than 6 metres. Important note: Previously approved burns may be burnt prior to the approval of the 2011/12 Plan.

SCHEDULE 2: FUELBREAKS MAINTENANCE & TRACK CONSTRUCTION The Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) and Parks Victoria are working together to establish and maintain a network of fuelbreaks to expand the protection of communities, forests and parks from the threat of bushfire. They provide a fuel‐reduced area from which to conduct back burning ahead of an approaching bushfire or during DSE’s planned burning season. 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 DSE planning process. 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 of preparation of other control lines with dozers or graders. Where burn boundaries align with strategic fire access roads; these boundaries may be cleared not more than 6 metres.

SCHEDULE 3: MECHANICAL FUEL MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Non‐burning methods of fuel management such as slashing, pruning, mulching or other operations (such as ploughing, mulching 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.
