Regional Director’s Foreword
The Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) and Parks Victoria carry out fire prevention activities on Victoria’s public land to help reduce the impacts of bushfires
to communities and the environment.
Our Fire Operations Plans outline where these fire prevention 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.
Each year we review and update the Loddon Mallee Fire Operations Plan based on the latest local information. The plan is shaped by feedback and knowledge from local communities
and key stakeholders such as the CFA, local councils, forest managers and flora and fauna specialists, as well as key industries.
The Fire Operations Plans are an important part of our work to reduce the risk of damaging bushfires. We make suggested changes to the plans wherever we can, but the decision to
carry out fire prevention activities is always driven by the need to reduce the impacts of bushfires to our local people, property and the environment.
The best way to look at the Loddon Mallee plan is by visiting www.depi.vic.gov.au/burns to view the interactive map and documents. Alternatively you can visit any of the
DEPI or Parks Victoria offices listed on Page 5.

Fire Operations Plan
This document contains the proposed fire prevention and preparedness works to be delivered for the period 2013/14 to 2015/16 within the Loddon Mallee Region.
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.
The area covered by this Plan is shown in Map 1.
The Plan is prepared, and will be implemented, in accordance with the Code of Practice for Bushfire Management on Public Land, Fire Management Manual 2.1: Fire Operations
Planning and other relevant DEPI Instructions, Manuals and Guidelines.
Fire management zones form the basis of this Fire Operations Plan, which deliver the strategies outlined in the Bendigo and Mildura Fire Protection Plans.
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 DEPI and Parks Victoria processes.

Summary of 2012/13
Bushfires – 2012/13
There were a total of 173 fires in the Loddon Mallee Region for the 2012/13 fire season. Of these fires 114 were in the Murray Goldfields District & 59 were in the Mallee District.
A total of 1,712 hectares were burnt by these fires, 1,616 hectares in the Murray Goldfields and 96 hectares in the Mallee. The low area burnt by bushfire fire can partly be attributed to
aggressive first attack by DEPI/CFA fire agencies to bring approximately 98% of bushfires under control before the y reached 5 ha in area.
The Loddon Mallee Region assisted with Victoria’s planned burning program and fire suppression activities across the state by providing Incident Management Teams, fire-fighters and
fire-fighting vehicles.
Bendigo was the base site of a ‘First Attack’ Helicopter Trial which proved to be very successful in suppressing a fire in the early stages, often arriving on scene before the ground
crews and assisting with 185 suppression drops (e.g. water or retardant).
Planned Fuel Reduction Burning Achievements for 2012/13
The planned burn target for 2012/13 state wide was 250,000 hectares, with the Loddon Mallee to contribute 44,795ha to this. The Loddon Mallee planned burning target for 2012 /
2013 was split between two districts, namely the Murray Goldfields and Mallee with targets of 11,366 and 33,429 hectares respectively.
The weather conditions during spring provided excellent conditions for planned burning in the region with 51 burns treating 28,244 hectares and allowed a good start to reaching
the regions targets. However, the autumn burning window was short, transitioning from extremely dry to cool and moist in only a few weeks. Consequently, in autumn only 11 burns
were either completed or partially completed treating 6,900 hectares.
Of the 77 burns conducted, 57 in the Murray Goldfields and 20 in the Mallee, a total area 42,381 hectares was treated across the Loddon Mallee. Of this 9,581 hectares were in the
Murray Goldfields & 32,799 hectares in the Mallee and achieved 95% of the Loddon Mallee regional hectare target.
Other Emergency Management
The Loddon Mallee Region supports an all hazards approach to emergency management and continues to assist as required with efforts in flood response, biosecurity and
dam integrity.

Preparation of a Fire Operations Plan
The development of a Fire Operations Plan involves the identification of planned burns and other works by DEPI, 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, particularly the Fire Operations Planning Manual 2.1;
 relevant Fire Protection/Fire 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;
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.
 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 the Fire Operations Plan
Each Fire Operations Plan consists of District Sub Plans containing a number of District Schedules, followed by Regional schedules.
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 – Works Program. This schedule lists the fuel management works 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.

MALLEE DISTRICT
SCHEDULE 1: Planned Burns
Planned burning is one of DEPI’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 fire-fighters have a much better chance of controlling bushfires in areas where fuel reduction burns have
been carried out.
Approved burns in this years plan will require ground works. Ground works will be assessed through on-site inspections which will look at surrounding assets and planned burn
objectives. Works may include pest plant controls, brushing up of existing boundaries and internal tracks and the construction or preparation of other control lines with machinery.
Please note that the years identified for planned burning are indicative only and may be changed due to weather conditions and operations requirements.

SCHEDULE 2: Works Program
Works such as the maintenance and construction of fire control lines, fire access tracks, fuelbreaks, 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, 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.
The tables below contain a summary of proposed works over the following three years. Some of these works are annual, with others prioritised based on the seasonal conditions and
which planned burns are scheduled. Accompanying maps provide detail on where these works activities are located. Note that the maps show approximate areas only, and actual
treatment area will be dependent on the condition of the fuels at the time of assessment. Please contact your local DEPI fire management staff if further detail is required.

SCHEDULE 3: Strategic Fuelbreaks
The Department of Environment and Primary Industry (DEPI) 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 threat 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 DEPI’s planned burning program.
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.
Strategic fuelbreak construction is included on this Fire Operations Plan for information only; it is approved via a separate DEPI planning process.
Strategic Fuelbreak Works 2013/14
No Strategic fuelbreaks activities are included on this Fire Operations Plan.

MURRAY GOLDFIELDS DISTRICT
SCHEDULE 1: Planned Burns
Planned burning is one of DEPI’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 fire-fighters have a much better chance of controlling bushfires in areas where fuel reduction burns have
been carried out.
Approved burns in this years Plan will require ground works. Ground works will be assessed through on-site inspections which will look at surrounding assets and planned burn
objectives. Works may include pest plant controls, brushing up of existing boundaries and internal tracks and the construction or preparation of other control lines with machinery.
Please note that the years identified for planned burning are indicative only and may be changed due to weather conditions and operations requirements.

SCHEDULE 2: Works Program
Works such as the maintenance and construction of fire control lines, fire access tracks, fuelbreaks, 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, 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.
The tables below contain a summary of proposed works over the following three years. Some of these works are annual, with others prioritised based on the seasonal conditions and
which planned burns are scheduled. Accompanying maps provide detail on where these works activities are located. Note that the maps show approximate areas only, and actual
treatment area will be dependent on the condition of the fuels at the time of assessment. Please contact your local DEPI fire management staff if further detail is required.

SCHEDULE 3: Strategic Fuelbreaks
The Department of Environment and Primary Industry (DEPI) 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 threat 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 DEPI’s planned burning program.
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.
Strategic fuelbreak construction is included on this Fire Operations Plan for information only; it is approved via a separate DEPI planning process.
Strategic Fuelbreak Works 2013/14
No Strategic fuelbreaks activities are included on this Fire Operations Plan .
