Joint Fuel Management Program: Planned Burns and Treatments in Victoria, 2023-2026

The Joint Fuel Management Program dataset represents planned prescribed burns and non-burn fuel treatments on Public Land in Victoria for a three-year period. It includes burns planned by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action and CFA burns. The dataset was last updated in November 2023.

Use Cases

• Mapping planned fire mitigation activities based on spatial extent data.
• Analyzing the distribution of fuel treatments over a three-year planning cycle.
• Integrating prescribed burn plans with other land management datasets.
• Monitoring the inclusion of CFA burns and VicForest coupe burns in joint planning.

Strengths

• Planned activities cover a three-year period, providing a forward-looking view.
• Includes both burns and non-burn fuel treatments, broadening scope.
• Spatial data is available in multiple geospatial file formats (DWG, MIF, DXF, SHP, etc.).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last metadata update was 2026-04-09.
