Fire Operations Plan 2015/16 ̶ 2017/18 Loddon Mallee Region 2
Regional Director’s Foreword
The Victorian Government is committed to reducing the risk of bushfires on public land. Fuel management is a key mechanism for reducing bushfire risk.
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.
DELWP’s Fire Operations Plan 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 development of the FOP is informed by Strategic Bushfire Management Planning, 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.
Each year we review and update the Loddon Mallee FOP. Updates are based on the latest local information and driven by DELWPs strategic bushfire risk management planning. Mallee
Murray Goulburn and West Central Bushfire Risk Landscape teams produce Strategic Bushfire Management Plans that assist with developing the Loddon Mallee 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, 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.
The Plan is prepared in consultation with communities, local councils, key stakeholders, Parks Victoria, CFA and technical specialists within DELWP.
DELWP 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 and
deliver burns.
Graham Phelps, Regional Director, Loddon Mallee Region
Fire Operations Plan 2015/16 ̶ 2017/18 Loddon Mallee Region 3
Loddon Mallee Fire Operations Plan
This document sets out where and when fuel reduction activities will take place over the next three years for the period 2015/16 to 2017/18 within the Loddon Mallee 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), 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.

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.

Fire Operations Plan 2015/16 ̶ 2017/18 Loddon Mallee Region 6
Preparation of the Loddon Mallee Fire Operations Plan
The development of the Loddon Mallee 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:
relevant legislation and Departmental policies relating to environmental and cultural heritage protection, and emergency
management;
various Departmental fire instructions and guidelines;
relevant Strategic Bushfire Management Plans;
the Code of Practice for Bushfire Management on Public Land;
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.
How to read this Fire Operations Plan
This Fire Operations Plan contains all proposed fuel management activities for Loddon Mallee and consists of District Sub Plans containing a number of District Schedules and a Regional
schedule for Fire Zone Amendments.
District 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 lists the fuel treatment program to support the planned burning program.
Schedule 3 – Strategic Fuelbreaks. This schedule provides an overview of strategic fuelbreaks to be constructed or maintained during the three year period.
Regional Schedule:
Schedule 4 – Amendments to Fire Management Zones. This schedule lists the location where zoning will change.
Important note:
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 Plan are
considered as contingencies 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 for
the first year.
Fire Operations Plan 2015/16 ̶ 2017/18 Loddon Mallee Region 7
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 / Road Name / Address – 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), COM
(Committee of Management).
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, NZ - Not Zoned, or NFPA – Non Fire Protected Area.
Grid Reference – the six figure grid reference used to locate burns on a map.
Area/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 burns did not appear on last year’s FOP. ‘NO’ = Not new burns. Burns were approved in the previous (2014/15- 2016/17) Fire Operations Plan but have not been
carried out. They are 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.
