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 former North East now Hume Region 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 Hume Region plan is by visiting www.depi.vic.gov.au/burns to view the interactive map and documents. Alternatively you visit into 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 Hume 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 Alexandra/Broadford Fire Protection Plan (1999), and the
Mansfield/Ovens/Shepparton/Upper Murray Fire Protection Plan (2003).
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
The 2012-13 bushfire season was the busiest fire season since the catastrophic fires of 2009. The Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) attended 789 fires
across the state which burnt an estimated 200,943 hectares (ha) which was 27% above the 30 year average. In the North East 185 fires were attended covering an estimated
29,469 ha which included the Harrietville (Alpine North) Fire at which 2 DEPI crew were tragically killed.
Following on from the wet 2010 and 2011 seasons the lead up to the 2012-13 season was under-pinned by a dry spring followed by a hot dry and windy summer across much of
south-eastern Australia. This saw DEPI resources from the North East deployed to major fires in Tasmania and NSW as well as Gippsland and to the west of the state prior to
the major fires getting underway in the North East.
Planned burning achievements 2012-13
The dry spring of 2012 provided opportunities to commence the Planned Burning program earlier than the two previous years particularly in the River Red Gum country on the
northern plains and for some of the smaller ecological grassland burns. The dry conditions also enabled additional preparatory works to be done in anticipation of an increased
autumn program.
The Autumn Planned Burning program was initially delayed because of the extensive fire season but got underway as conditions started to moderate towards the end of March 2013.
The weather conditions were conducive to an extensive program through until mid May with periodic and patchy light rainfall causing some disruptions to the program particularly in the
Ovens and Goulburn Districts. The underlying soil and fine fuel dryness resulted in an extended window of planned burning opportunity with some burns still being undertaken on the
northern plains into the winter months. The extended window of opportunity also provided DEPI with the flexibility to move / reschedule some burns to help meet the needs of some
Key Stakeholders.
By the end of June 2013 DEPI had in the North East undertaken 104 Planned Burns covering 72,767 ha which is 107% of the 67,708 ha Regional Target. The breakdown of the
area treated by Fire Management Zone saw 9 burns undertaken in Zone 1 Asset Protection Zone covering 2,127ha, in Zone 2 Bushfire Moderation LMZ 42 burns covering 33,216 ha,
in Zone 3 Landscape Management Zone 51 burns covering 37,404 ha with a further 2 Planned Burns undertaken as non zoned / heap burns covering 20 ha.
Staff and crews from the North East (Hume Region) also supported the planning, preparation and delivery of the Planned Burning program across the state throughout the year.

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 Timber Production;
 relevant Forest Management and Park Management Plans;
 DEPI, soil, water, economic and cultural values within the District; and
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.
 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.
Regional Schedules:
Schedule 4 – Amendments to Fire Management Zones. This schedule lists the locations where zoning will change.

GOULBURN 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 year’s 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.

MURRINDINDI 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 year’s 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.

No Strategic fuelbreaks activities are included on this Fire Operations Plan.

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 year’s 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.

No Strategic fuelbreaks activities are included on this Fire Operations Plan .

UPPER MURRAY 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 year’s 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.

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.
