Fire Operations Plan 2016/17 ̶ 2018/19 Port Phillip Region 1

Assistant Chief Fire Officer’s Foreword

Outlined in Safer Together: A new approach to reducing the risk of bushfire in Victoria , the Victorian Government is committed to maintain bushfire risk at or below 70% on public land. The Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) and Parks Victoria, carry out fire management activities on Victoria’s public land to help reduce the impacts of bushfires to communities and the environment. Fuel management is one way to reduce bushfire risk. DELWP undertakes strategic bushfire management planning, which is carried out by DELWPs bushfire risk landscape teams. There are seven bushfire risk landscape teams across the state. Each team develops a strategy to reduce the risk of bushfire impacting on communities, infrastructure and the environment. The development of the Fire Operations Plan (FOP) is informed by strategic bushfire management plans. DELWP’s FOP outlines where these 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.

The Port Phillip Fire Operation Plan (Port Phillip FOP) outlines operations that contribute to meeting state-wide objectives. The state-wide objective is to undertake fuel management to maintain bushfire risk at or below 70%, and maintain or improve ecosystem resilience. To achieve these objectives between 225,000 and 275,000 hectares per annum will require treatment.

Each year we review and update the Port Phillip FOP. Updates are based on the latest local information and driven by DELWP’s strategic bushfire risk management planning. The East Central and the West Central Bushfire Risk Landscape teams produce Strategic Bushfire Management Plans that assist with developing the Port Phillip FOP by focussing on fuel management activities in areas where there is the most impact on risk. This leads to an effective and efficient plan for delivering fuel management and ecological burns.

The FOP development is shaped by feedback and knowledge from local communities and key stakeholders such as local councils, Parks Victoria, forest managers and flora and fauna specialists, as well as key industries. The Country Fire Authority works in partnership with DELWP to provide local knowledge and expertise for planned burns.

The Fire Operations Plan is an important part of our work to reduce the risk of damaging bushfires. We make changes to the plan wherever we can, but the decision to carry out fire prevention activities is always driven by the need to reduce the impact of bushfires to our local people, property and the environment. DELWP 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 and deliver burns.

Port Phillip Fire Operations Plan

This document sets out where and when fuel reduction activities will take place over the next three years for the period 2016/17 to 2018/19 within the Port Phillip Region. These activities are carried out to reduce bushfire fuels – like leaves, twigs and grass – to make bushfires less intense. Activities are also done to maintain the health of ecosystems that rely on fire to regenerate. 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 (the Code), Safer Together: A new approach to reducing the risk of bushfire in Victoria , and relevant DELWP Instructions, Manuals and Guidelines. 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 DELWP and Parks Victoria processes. Map 1: Port Phillip Region

Fuel Management Strategy The proposed FOP supports the implementation of the East Central and West Central Bushfire Risk Landscape fuel management strategies. In order to achieve the strategic risk reduction goals set by the Bushfire Risk Landscapes, Districts were given guidance prior to the development of each Fire Operations Plan. This guidance included a target for minimum amount of area and burns to be planned in Priority Fuel Management Areas. Further advice was also given to prioritize fuel reduction works in ‘Strategic areas due for treatment’, that is Asset Protection Zones and Bushfire Moderation Zones which had not been burnt in 8 or 15 years respectively and where Overall Fuel Hazard (on-ground) was deemed to have reached trigger levels.

The East Central fuel management strategy, which drives almost all risk reduction in Port Phillip Region, works through a combination of burning close to assets to protect them from direct flame contact, as well as undertaking burning further away from the assets to moderate fire behaviour such as reduce spotting and fire convection. Fuel treatment works tend to be focused on the north west and south west of communities as this is the direction the worst bushfires approach from. Generally, more intense fuel treatment will be carried out close to communities in Asset Protection Zones (APZ) to mitigate direct flame and ember impacts. Additionally, fuel treatment in Bushfire Moderation Zones (BMZ) will build on the Asset Protection Zones because the primary aim in both of these zones is human life and property protection. Significant areas of these fuel treatments are planned around other communities such as those found on Mount Dandenong and the likes of Powelltown, Gembrook and Healesville. Fuel treatment will also be undertaken further from and ‘upstream’ of communities, in order to reduce the size and spread of bushfires. An example of where this type of burning is essential for bushfire protection is the town of Warburton. The vegetation surrounding the township is largely Wet Forest and cannot be treated with planned burning. In order to protect the town from bushfires, fuel management works occur more than 10km north-west of Warburton around the towns of Toolangi and Healesville. Area treated A State-wide risk reduction target has been adopted in 2016/17 – 2018/19 FOP development as part of the Victorian Government Safer Together policy to guide our fuel management program on public land. This risk reduction target allows us to measure not only how much activity we do, but how effective it is in reducing the risk of bushfire.

To achieve the State-wide target of 70% residual risk, a risk reduction target was specified for each Bushfire Risk Landscape (BRL). This was then converted into an area (in hectares) for each District in order to compile their Fire Operations Plan: Metropolitan District target is 1,003 hectares and Yarra District target is 3,690 hectares. To allow for flexibility in the delivery of the burning program during the planning process additional hectares are included in the FOP.

Yarra planned hectares are: FOP Year 1 = 3,838 ha (an additional 380 ha will be treated with non-burn treatments) FOP Year 2 = 4,099 ha FOP Year 3 = 4,200 ha

Metropolitan planned hectares are: FOP Year 1 = 1,159 ha (an additional 996 ha will be treated with non-burn treatments) FOP Year 2 = 1,260 ha FOP Year 3 = 1,149 ha

Fire Operations Plan 2016/17 ̶ 2018/19 Port Phillip Region 4

Working with communities Managing bushfire risk is an ongoing and shared responsibility-partnership in which everyone has a role. We work all year round with communities to understand and reduce bushfire risk. As a part of delivering Safer Together , Victoria's new approach to reducing the risk of bushfire, Port Phillip Region has worked with many stakeholders and partners to develop the Fire Operations Plan. This includes Parks Victoria, CFA, Melbourne Water, traditional owner groups, local government, industry groups, community groups and individuals.

Throughout the FOP development process staff have met with local CFA brigades, Municipal Emergency Management Planning Committees and CFA Vegetation Management Officers to get input from emergency management agencies about fuel management in their local areas. Key stakeholder groups, such as community organisations, industry groups and agencies are contacted early in the development of the plan to provide input into decisions that are made. This lead to submissions from community groups and individuals which provided information about important values and assets for protection and fuel treatment nominations. These submissions came in through various channels including written submissions, submissions through our web portal, face to face and telephone conversations with our staff and also Parks Victoria fire management staff. This local knowledge has been incorporated into determining where planned burns take place, how they should be delivered and what values need protection. Individuals, agencies and community groups in Port Phillip region are encouraged to contact DELWP at any time of the year to discuss fuel management and planned burning in their local area.

Safer Together recognises that fire hazard can exist across all land tenures. Port Phillip has been working in conjunction with private land owners to reduce fire risk across the landscape, with 19 cross tenure planned burns currently scheduled in the Fire Operations Plan.

Activities in the Fire Operations Plan

Planned Burns Planned burning is one of DELWP’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, 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 Australia and overseas, clearly shows that firefighters have a much better chance of managing bushfires in areas where fuel reduction 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 . Non Burn Fuel Treatments Non burn 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. Strategic Fuelbreaks The Department of Environment Land Water and Planning (DELWP) 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 risk of bushfire. 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. 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 DELWP’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. The locations of strategic fuelbreaks are included for information only. These activities are approved via other DELWP and Parks Victoria processes.

Fire Operations Plan 2016/17 ̶ 2018/19 Port Phillip Region 7

Preparation of the Port Phillip Fire Operations Plan

The development of the Port Phillip Fire Operations Plan involves the identification of planned burns and other fuel management works by DELWP, Parks Victoria and other interested stakeholders. Values and priorities must be balanced in the development of the Plan including: Important note: • relevant legislation and Departmental policies relating to environmental and cultural heritage protection, and emergency management, including Safer Together: A new approach to reducing the risk of bushfire in Victoria The ability to carry out burns is dependent on seasonal and local weather conditions. To allow for this, planned burns from the • various Departmental fire instructions and guidelines; second and third years of the Plan are considered as contingencies • relevant Strategic Bushfire Management Plans; for the first year. This means that a second or third year burn may be brought forward to the current year to replace a burn planned • the Code of Practice for Bushfire Management on Public Land; for the first year. • the Code of Practice for Timber Production; • 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. Where necessary, prescriptions for particular values maybe specified for each burn which are then incorporated into individual Burn Plans. These prescriptions are reviewed annually to take into account experience from burning operations in the previous season.

Information provided on schedules

The schedules contain information about burns and fuel treatments. For each schedule there are a number of attributes used to provide information about the fuel treatments. The definitions of the attributes are listed below.

Schedule 1 Local Government Area (LGA) – the municipality in which the majority of the fuel management activity is located. Burn Number and Name – the unique identifier for each burn or planned fuel management activity. Location – a bearing and distance of the planned burn from the nearest major township/locality. Land Manager – the organisation responsible for day-to-day management of the works site – DELWP (Department of Environment Land Water and Planning); PV (Parks Victoria). Burn Season – indicates the preferred season in which the burn will be completed. Actual delivery may be any time of the year. Burn Type – indicates the primary purpose of the burn including fuel reduction burn (FRB), ecological burn (ECO). Land Management Objective - identifies the desired land management outcome(s) of the burn. Fire Management Zone (FMZ) – an area of land in which fire is managed for specific asset, fuel and ecological objectives. Values included in this column can be APZ - Asset Protection Zone; BMZ – Bushfire Management Zone; LMZ - Landscape Management Zone, PBEZ – Planned Burn Exclusion Zone; or, NZ -Not Zoned. Grid Reference – the six figure grid reference used to locate burns on a map. Planned Burn Area – the maximum area of the fuel management activity measured in hectares (ha), including areas specifically excluded from disturbance. New Burn – ‘YES’ = New burn did not appear on last year’s FOP. ‘NO’ = Not a new burn. Burn was approved in the previous (2015/16- 2017/18) Fire Operations Plan but has not been carried out; it is included in this FOP and may be conducted at any time. Schedule 2 Non Burn Fuel Treatments – the type of works planned. Maintenance (ha) – activities within a previously approved and impacted area or easement. Such as mowing the regrowth on a road easement or fuelbreak. Renewal (ha) – a high impact activity such as soil disturbance or vegetation modification on an existing footprint. The area has previously been subject to significant disturbance. For example reclaiming an existing road verge, which was once cleared, but not been maintained. The vegetation to be cleared is obviously younger regrowth, compared to surrounding vegetation outside the footprint. The Road Class is not being upgraded in this process, just restoring the verge to its previous width. New (ha) – A high impact activity such as soil disturbance or vegetation modification on an area has not been subject to this type of disturbance previously.
