Our Fire Operations Plans outline where these fire prevention activities are intended to be carried out over a three year period, if weather and other conditions permit. These activities include planned burning, slashing, mowing and clearing works, track works and construction of fire breaks. Each year we review and update the Hume Fire Operations Plan based on the latest local information. The plan is shaped by feedback and knowledge from local communities and key stakeholders such as the CFA, local councils, forest managers and flora and fauna specialists, as well as key industries. The Fire Operations Plans are an important part of our work to reduce the 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. Each Plan is prepared in consultation with communities, local councils, key stakeholders, Parks Victoria, CFA and technical specialists within DEPI. DEPI also works with interest groups and the wider community to understand how planned burns may impact people and industries and to gain important local knowledge to better plan burns. Christine Ferguson, Regional Director, Hume Region 2 2016/17 Hume Region Fire Operations Plan This document contains the proposed fire prevention and preparedness works to be delivered for the period 2014/15 to 2016/17 within the Hume Region. The area covered by this Plan is shown in Map 1. This Plan covers all public land including all national parks, State parks and regional parks and all State forests. Numerous other small reserves and Crown land are also included. Some areas of neighbouring private property may be included in this plan if identified through strategic planning as being a possibility for inclusion with public land fuel treatment. No works would be undertaken in this area until approval is granted by the landowner. The Plan is prepared, and will be implemented, in accordance with the Code of Practice for Bushfire Management on Public Land, and relevant DEPI Instructions, Manuals and Guidelines. To access a copy of the Code, click Code of Practice, or go to www.depi.vic.gov.au then > Fire and Other Emergencies>Bushfire Risk and Learning>Code of Practice. The objectives for the fire management zones are outlined in the Code and form the basis of this Fire Operations Plan. It should be noted that burns associated with logging regeneration as well as small heap and grass burns are not included in the Fire Operation Planning process. The locations of strategic fuelbreaks are included for information only. These activities are approved via other DEPI and Parks Victoria processes.

Values and priorities must be balanced in the development of the Plan including: relevant legislation and Departmental policies relating to environmental and cultural heritage protection, and Important note: emergency management; The ability to carry out burns is dependent on seasonal various Departmental fire instructions and guidelines; and local weather conditions. To allow for this, planned burns from the second and third years of the Plan are relevant Fire Protection/Fire Management Plans; considered as contingencies for the first year. This the Code of Practice for Bushfire Management on Public Land; means that a second or third year burn may be brought the Code of Practice for Timber Production; forward to the current year to replace a burn planned for the first year. relevant Forest Management and Park Management Plans; biodiversity, soil, water, economic and cultural values within the District; and environmental, cultural or economic strategies which could be impacted by the Plan’s implementation.
