SBMP FMZ: Strategic Bushfire Management Zones for the ACT

Fire Management Zones are a subset of Bushfire Prone Areas where measurable fuel management treatments are applied. The zones, including Asset Protection Zones and Strategic Firefighting Advantage Zones, are reviewed annually by the ACT Government to mitigate bushfire risk. The Commissioner approves the maps, which are maintained by ACTmapi.

Use Cases

• Mapping bushfire risk mitigation zones based on asset protection and firefighting advantage criteria
• Analyzing fuel management treatment locations relative to the urban edge
• Planning annual reviews of fire management zones based on the ACT Bushfire Management Standards

Strengths

• Annual review process ensures zones are updated with the growing urban edge
• Defined by the ACT Bushfire Management Standards, providing a formal framework

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
