In 2015, the Victorian Government set out a new approach to reducing the risk of bushfire in Victoria called Safer Together. Safer Together outlines an approach to reducing the risk of bushfires to Victorian communities, which focuses on how effective our actions are in reducing risk. It aims for a more integrated approach across public and private land.

Working together, FFMVic* and the Country Fire Authority (CFA) has developed this first Joint Fuel Management Program (JFMP) which covers the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning’s (DELWP) Hume region and the CFA’s North East region. It demonstrates our commitment to working more closely to deliver the best bushfire risk reduction outcomes for Victorians. It recognises that bushfire risk occurs across all land.

The JFMP is compiled to achieve an integrated and risk-focused fuel management program across public and private land. It is designed to implement long-term strategic bushfire management strategies that outline how we will manage the risk of bushfires for the protection of life and property on public and private land, while maintaining and improving natural ecosystems.

Fuel management is recognised as one of the most effective ways to reduce the impacts of bushfires to communities and the environment.

This JFMP has been shaped by a variety of information, such as risk-based planning detailed within our strategic bushfire management plans, specialist input from FFMVic, CFA staff and key industries, as well as knowledge from local communities, including Traditional Owners and key stakeholders.

We have identified planned burns across all land tenures. However, for this first JFMP, only private property burns that are a direct risk reduction benefit, are high profile or where a community need is identified, are included. All other CFA planned burns which are not listed in this document, will be added to the JFMP map over time so the public can see the complete fuel management program from all agencies. In the future, burns will be planned with increasing collaboration, as we continue to work closely together.

All CFA planned burns are documented in Municipal Fire Management Plans held by the relevant local government authority. Some Municipal Fire Management Plans also include strategic fuel breaks, works required for the maintenance of fire access roads and other roadside and railway burns.

The JFMP replaces the DELWP Fire Operation Plan (FOP).

Based on feedback and local knowledge from communities and key stakeholders, we will review and update the JFMP each year. We may make changes to burns or other fuel management activities. Our highest priority however, in carrying out fuel management activities is always the need to reduce the impact of bushfires on life and property.

We would like to acknowledge this as a significant milestone for Safer Together and recognise the work that has been put into developing this first Joint Fuel Management Plan, both by FFMVic staff, CFA and local communities. We encourage your continued input to ensure our plans protect those assets and values which are important to all Victorians.

Hume Joint Fuel Management Program 2018/19 – 2020/21 Page 4

Foreword

Purpose and objectives of the Hume Region Joint Fuel Management ProgramPurposeThe maps and schedules contained within this JFMP set out where and when fuel management activities are planned to occur for the period 2018/19 to 2020/21 within the Hume region.

These activities are carried out to reduce bushfire fuels – like leaves, twigs, bark and grass – to make bushfires less intense, minimising the risk to communities and providing safety to fire-fighters while fighting these fires. Activities are also done to maintain the health of ecosystems that rely on fire to regenerate.

It is important to note that the ability to carry out burns is dependent on seasonal and local weather conditions. To allow for this, planned burns from the second and third years of the program may be brought forward to the current year to replace a burn planned for the first year.

Fuel management activities are under taken across the landscape on public and private land. Through the fuel management planning processes the appropriate lead agency for delivery has been determined.

This document consists of lead agency district sub-plans and contains the following schedules:

Schedule 1 – Planned Burns. This schedule lists planned fuel reduction, ecological and other planned burns by indicative year for the three-year period.

Schedule 2 – Non-Burn Fuel Treatments. This schedule summaries the program that uses methods other than burning to achieve the fuel management objectives.

Schedule 3 – Strategic Fuelbreaks. This schedule provides an overview of FFMVic strategic fuelbreaks to be constructed during the three-year period. The locations of strategic fuelbreaks are included for information only. These activities are approved via other DELWP and Parks Victoria processes.

It should be noted that CFA/Municipality led strategic fuel breaks are not included in this regional JFMP. These activities are approved and listed as part of Municipal planning processes.

The following districts are part of DELWPs Hume region and CFAs North East region:

Goulburn District, DELWP District 12, CFA

Murrindindi District, DELWP District 13, CFA

Ovens District, DELWP District 22, CFA

Upper Murray District, DELWP District 23, CFA

District 24, CFA

CFA lead planned burns will continue to be planned and delivered through their respective authorising district, irrespective of which regional JFMP they appear in.


Map 1: Hume Region

Burns associated with logging regeneration as well as small heap burns are not included in the JFMP process.

The JFMP is prepared and will be implemented in accordance with the Code of Practice for Bushfire Management on Public Land 2012 (the Code), Safer Together: A new approach to reducing the risk of bushfire in Victoria and relevant CFA and FFMVic Instructions, Manuals and Guidelines.

ObjectiveThe Hume region JFMP has been developed to implement strategies set out in DELWP’s strategic bushfire management plans which address DELWP’s legal obligations, policy commitments and objectives, including:

bushfire risk reduction to protect human life and property, maintaining and enhancing ecosystem resilience, and achieving other desired outcomes as identified by communities.

Strategic Bushfire Management PlanningDELWP in consultation with CFA and communities has developed long-term strategic bushfire management plans to identify where it is best to undertake fire management to achieve the above objectives.

The strategies apply four Fire Management Zones (FMZ) on public land as described in the Code. This zoning establishes the primary objective for fuel management in different areas of the public land landscape and include:

Asset Protection Zone (APZ): where intensive fuel management provides the highest level of localised protection to human life and property;

Bushfire Moderation Zone (BMZ): where there is fuel management to reduce the speed and intensity of bushfires, either close to towns or as they spread through the landscape;

Landscape Management Zone (LMZ): where fuel management is done to reduce fuel hazard, improve ecosystem resilience and manage the land for particular uses (such as forest regeneration and water catchment protection); and

Planned Burning Exclusion Zone (PBEZ): where there is no planned burning, mainly to protect areas that can’t tolerate fire.

The zones and other strategies in strategic bushfire management plans inform the development of the JFMP. They are used to determine where fuel management activities need to be carried out over the next three-year period to meet the longer-term strategy’s objectives, if weather and other conditions permit.

Hume Region Joint Fuel Management Program 2018/19 – 2020/21 Page 6

Burns are planned across all available FMZ (APZ, BMZ and LMZ) for maintaining bushfire risk to desired levels. It is just as important to carry out planned burns in remote areas, as fires can start in these areas and spread to threaten houses and communities.

Implementation of the Strategic Bushfire Management Plan & Fuel Management Strategy

The approved fuel management strategy for Hume region Bushfire Risk Landscapes aim to manage the fuel hazard on public land close to towns to reduce the bushfire intensity and ember density of bushfires. Further from settlements fuel management is undertaken within the likely spread paths and the worst ignition areas for major bushfires.

Communities identified as at the highest risk in the worst bushfire weather are prioritised, but protection via fuel management considers all communities because bushfires can start, spread and potentially impact most areas.

JFMP development has been informed by the compilation and provision of risk and ecological information covering the following issues:

1. Current Ignition and Property Impact risk

2. Relative Risk contribution by Burn Unit on public land

3. Current levels of fuel hazard

4. Fire Size by Burn Unit

5. Treatable area within Burn Units

6. Current vegetation growth stage

7. Current Tolerable Fire Interval status

The current Fire Operations Plan is in line with these aims with burns programmed across four DELWP districts, conferring protection across the settled landscape and in particular to priority townships of Bright, Tolmie, Jamieson, Flowerdale, Marysville, Bright, Yackandandah and Mitta Mitta.

Planned burns aim to reduce fuel hazard for the protection of life and property across large sub-catchments and identified bushfire pathways across the Black Range, Tallarook, Kinglake, Strathbogies, Toombullups, Tolmie/Whitlands, Beechworth, Yackandandah, Tallangatta Valley and Mitta bushfire pathways.

Burns are also programmed to confer protection to major assets identified for the region and Risk Landscape. Programmed burns will reduce risk to HVP pine plantation assets that are a major industry in the region, in the Upper Murray, Ovens and Goulburn districts.

Murrindindi district burns also provide strategic risk reduction for protection of Melbourne's water supply catchments and the protection of the Leadbeater’s Possum habitat near Castella and Glenburn.

The geographic distribution of all planned burn locations within Hume region over the three year planning horizon is displayed in Map 2.

Bushfire risk objectives and Assessment of Residual Risk

Safer Together: A new approach to reducing the risk of bushfire in Victoria sets out the Victorian Government’s commitments to reducing the risk of bushfire in Victoria. It adopts a risk reduction target to guide fuel management, maintaining bushfire risk at or below a residual risk of 70% in the long-term.

Residual risk, is the risk, on average, that bushfires will impact on life and property across the landscape. It is expressed as the percentage of the risk that remains after bushfire history and fuel management (mainly planned burning) activities are considered.

The residual risk objective for the Goulburn, Ovens and Upper Murray districts is to maintain residual risk at or below 60%, and for Murrindindi district at or below 80% to contribute to the overall Statewide residual risk target of 70%.

The current residual bushfire risk in the districts of the Alpine North East Bushfire Risk Landscape has been modelled at 74% for Goulburn, 52% for Ovens and 61% for Upper Murray.

The Murrindindi district which is part of the East Central Bushfire Risk Landscape has a current Risk level modelled at 73%.

The State Bushfire Risk Analysis Unit has assessed the effectiveness for each of the three years of the Hume 2018/19-2020/21- JFMP in achieving the required risk targets.

This has been based on a total targeted area over the three year period for each of the districts of: Goulburn 40,200 hectares, Ovens 69,500 hectares, Upper Murray 75,500 hectares and Murrindindi 34,700 hectares.

Implementation of the three year JFMP will result in residual risk percentages at the end of the period of: Goulburn 64% Ovens 48%, Upper Murray 43% and Murrindindi 73%.


Full delivery of the burns program in recent years combined with JFMP development focussing closely on highest risk areas has contributed to projected risk levels at the planned area of burning, below the risk reduction target for all four Hume Fire districts.

These projected risk reductions may allow management of a reduced delivery target within districts whilst still meeting the overall Statewide risk reduction target of 70%. This is particularly true for Murrindindi, Ovens and Upper Murray districts, all of which are at or below the required Risk Level to achieve State aims in risk reduction.

Table 1 summarises how the JFMP supports achievement of the Statewide risk reduction target.


Modelled residual risk Hume Districts with and without planned burning.

The following graphs summarise how the JFMP supports achievement of the Statewide risk reduction target by fire district

Figure 1 – 4 District Risk Profiles.



Working with CommunitiesManaging bushfire risk is an ongoing and shared responsibility in which everyone has a role. To work well with communities to manage bushfire risk, DELWP operates under the principles of the DELWP Community Charter and CFA operates under the CFA Service Delivery Strategy 2015-2020.

In the Hume region, DELWP and CFA form partnerships with each other to work with communities, while each agency also maintains relationships with communities independent of each other. Under Safer Together, partnerships between DELWP, CFA, local government and other agencies will continue to be enhanced so that communities receive the best level of service.

DELWP and CFA undertake ongoing consultation with its communities, stakeholders and partners to develop the JFMP, including traditional owner groups, local government, industry groups such as vignerons, apiarists and tourism, community-based bushfire management groups and individual community members. Consultation helps fire agencies understand what risk means for them, the things people value, and the actions that can be collectively taken to create safer, more resilient communities and ecosystems. Stakeholders provide direct input at regional and district forums, events and meetings which have provided valuable input throughout the year. This local knowledge is incorporated into determining where planned burns take place, how they should be delivered and what values need protection. Where possible, feedback received at the end of the planned burning season is used in a constructive way to improve our planning and delivery functions.

Strategic fire planning conducted with the Hume region also identifies areas of private land and cross-tenure (public/private) bushfire risk areas, which are closely managed by DELWP and other relevant land managers and landholders. Each district in Hume region has at least one cross-tenure planned burn as a focus for community engagement and bushfire risk management. Under the Safer Together approach, fire agencies are involving local communities in decisions about bushfire management all year around to determine local solutions.

At the strategic level, the multi-agency Hume region Safer Together Coordinating Committee is working closely to map the current fire management planning processes for fuel management and community engagement to look for opportunities for improved alignment in its processes across agencies and to develop a shared understanding and utilisation of the tools for risk identification used to support joint bushfire planning in the region.

The delivery of the Hume planned burning program may have adverse impacts on the communities of Bright, Flowerdale, Hazeldene, Jamieson, Marysville, Nariel Valley, Tallangatta Valley and Yackandandah. DELWP and CFA will work closely with these communities and relevant stakeholders to manage potential impacts

Maintaining and Enhancing Ecosystem Resilience DELWP is committed to “maintain or improve the resilience of natural ecosystems and their ability to deliver services such as biodiversity, water, carbon storage and forest products” (the Code). Strategic bushfire management plans include consideration of ecosystem resilience at a strategic level over the long term, particularly how we can measure it. However, DELWP is working towards developing a more detailed understanding of how planned burning might impact flora and fauna, and how we can use fire to maintain and enhance ecosystem resilience into the future.

Ecological objectives and priorities

The regional objective for ecological resilience is to implement a balanced approach to fuel management activities across the landscape to ensure that ecosystem resilience is maintained or improved, and that the activities of fuel management generally does not have negative impacts on fire sensitive species and vegetation communities. The regional ecological objectives are documented in the Monitoring Evaluation and Reporting (MER) Plan 2016. Refer below for MER Metrics, Outcomes for Resilient Ecosystems.


Ecological priorities were identified that could be supported through planning and implementation of the current JFMP, and relevant spatial information and advice was provided to districts. The ecological priorities are:

To minimise areas scheduled for burning on the JFMP that are below minimum Tolerable Fire Interval. To avoid scheduling areas for burning that contain vegetation in older growth stages (Longest

Undisturbed vegetation). Avoid ignition and planned burning in Leadbeater’s Possum habitat and identify and protect colonies. To plan around other threatened and fire sensitive ecological communities and species, to avoid or

mitigate against potential impacts. To develop a JFMP with the primary focus in BMZ and APZ as the region transitions into a risk based

program.

MER Metrics Outcomes for Resilient Ecosystems

By 2022, Ecosystem resilience is not significantly impacted by fuel management activities by:

1. Maintaining more than 75% of the area of Forby Forest, Grassy|Heathy Dry Forest, Moist Forest and Tall Mist Forest in Landscape Management Zone (LMZ) within or above Tolerable Fire Interval

Tolerable Fire Interval and ecosystem resilience


Tolerable Fire Interval (TFI) is the current measure used to assess ecosystem resilience at a landscape level. When vegetation is within TFI, the risk to ecosystem resilience is reduced; the larger the area of our landscape either below minimum TFI or above maximum TFI, the less resilient ecosystems are likely to be. As a result of major bushfires in the last 15 years, there are large areas of vegetation within Hume region that are currently below minimum TFI.

Burning below TFI is justified in APZ and BMZ where risk to life and property is the top priority, but in LMZ the ecological risk of burning below minimum TFI should be given greater consideration. Full implementation of the JFMP in Hume will result in large areas being burnt while under minimum TFI in LMZ, refer to Table 5 for % of JFMP under TFI and Figure 5 for JFMP TFI status. The JFMP comprises of large areas of LMZ refer to Figure 6. These figures may change as the FMZ review is finalised in three of the fire districts.

Vegetation Growth Stage Structure

DELWP land management aims to maintain a mix of Growth Stage Structure (GSS) across the landscape. The existing (interim) measure for Ecosystem Resilience is TFI, however Geometric Mean Abundance (GMA) is being developed as a future measure. Indications so far suggest that for this region, GMA is higher, and therefore Ecosystem Resilience is improved as large areas of vegetation continue to mature after the landscape scale bushfires. Vegetation in older growth stages also provides critical habitat for many threatened and fire-sensitive species and takes a long time to replace.

Similar to TFI trends, there are large areas of young vegetation in the Hume region as a result of bushfires in the last 15 years. Because the affected vegetation types take a relatively long time to reach maturity, there will continue to be a large proportion of younger vegetation for some time, increasing the importance of avoiding planned burning in areas of older growth stage vegetation. Areas of older growth stage vegetation were identified during JFMP development and are excluded where possible through operational and tactical planning. Full implementation of the current JFMP in Hume will result in decreasing areas of vegetation in the old growth stage.


Ecological burns

The total hectares of fuel management that is directed at ecological outcomes is 525 hectares totalling 10 burns. These are primarily for grassland and individual species management.

Threatened species and communities

Potential impacts on species and communities listed under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) or the Victorian Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 (FFG Act) have been addressed at the operational review of the draft JFMP. Records of listed species from the Victorian Biodiversity Atlas were used to identify potential conflicts with proposed burns and works. Advice has been provided regarding the potential nature of any impacts, along with recommendations to eliminate, mitigate or minimise potential threats to these values during planned burning. DELWP is currently developing a strategic assessment process to identify, assess and mitigate potential impacts of the planned burning program on matters of National Environmental Significance.

Ecological outcomes of the JFMP

The proposed 2019-2021 Hume planned burning program challenges ecological objectives and a reduced delivery target focused in BMZ and APZ would allow better management of ecosystem resilience. While effort has been made to address ecological priorities using the information provided, for example excluding some areas of Oldest Growth Stage vegetation from the JFMP, the transition to a risk-based JFMP, and the current review in Hume of the Fire Management Zoning scheme has still resulted in proposing burns in areas where ecological values will be compromised.

SCHEDULE 2: NON-BURN FUEL TREATMENTS 2018/19 - DELWP Lead Agency The table below contains a summary of proposed non-burn fuel treatments over the following year. Some of these fuel treatments are annual, with others prioritised based on the seasonal conditions and which planned burns are scheduled. Accompanying maps provide detail on where these fuel treatment activities are located. Note that the maps show approximate areas only and the actual treatment area will be dependent on the condition of the fuels at the time of assessment. Please contact your local DELWP or Parks Victoria office if further detail is required.

SCHEDULE 3: NEW STRATEGIC FUELBREAKS 2018/19 - DELWP Lead Agency DELWP and Parks Victoria work 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 to assist in the implementation of a planned burn.

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, 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. CFA strategic fuel breaks are included in Municipal Fire Management Plans.

Strategic fuel break maintenance is an annual program and included in Schedule 2 above.

There are no strategic fuel breaks scheduled for construction.

SCHEDULE 2: NON-BURN FUEL TREATMENTS 2018/19 - CFA Lead Agency The table below contains a summary of proposed non-burn fuel treatments over the following year. Some of these fuel treatments are annual, with others prioritised based on the seasonal conditions and which planned burns are scheduled. Accompanying maps provide detail on where these fuel treatment activities are located. Note that the maps show approximate areas only and the actual treatment area will be dependent on the condition of the fuels at the time of assessment. Please contact your local CFA office if further detail is required.

GlossaryThis glossary provides information on terms contained within the body of this document and the schedules.

Burn Type – indicates the primary purpose of the burn including fuel reduction burn (FRB), ecological burn (ECO).

Burn Number and Name– the unique identifier for each burn or planned fuel management activity.

Cross-tenure burn – burns that cover both public and private land

Fire Management Zone (FMZ) – an area of public 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 Moderation Zone; LMZ - Landscape Management Zone, PBEZ – Planned Burn Exclusion Zone; or, NZ -Not Zoned.

Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) - is the organisation that delivers services to achieve DELWP’s legislated responsibilities. It consists of specialist staff from DELWP, Parks Victoria, Melbourne Water and VicForests.

Indicative Burn Season – indicates the preferred season in which the burn will be completed. Actual delivery may be any time of the year.

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).

Land Management Objective - identifies the desired land management outcome(s) of the burn.

Local Government Area (LGA) – the municipality in which the majority of the fuel management activity is located.

Location – a direction and distance of the planned burn from the nearest major township/locality.

Planned Burns - Planned burning is one of FFMVic and CFA’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.

Private Property Burn – burn that occurs wholly on private land.

Planned Burn Size – the maximum area of the fuel management activity measured in hectares (ha), including areas specifically excluded from disturbance.

Strategic Fuelbreak: 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.

New Burn– ‘NEW’ = New burn did not appear on last year’s FFMVic JFMP. Blank box = Not a new burn. Burn was approved in the previous (2017/18- 2019/20) Fire Operations Plan but has not been carried out, it is included in this JFMP and may be conducted at any time.

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.
