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 Port Phillip 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 Port Phillip Region plan is by visiting www.depi.vic.gov.au/burns to view the interactive map and documents. Alternatively you can contact DEPI Port Phillip
Region and make an appointment to visit any of the DEPI or Parks Victoria offices. Contact details are listed on Page 4.

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 Port Phillip 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.
The Code of Practice for Bushfire Management on Public Land was reviewed in June 2012. To access a copy of the Code, visit www.dse.vic.gov.au, DEPI Home > Fire & Other
Emergencies > Publications & Research. The Code establishes a framework for bushfire management (including planned burning and bushfire response) on Victoria's public land. 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.

Summary of 2012/13
DEPI’s planned burn program is the considered use of fire to protect life, property and the environment from the threat of bushfire and to maintain the health of plants and animals that
have come to depend on bushfires to survive.
DEPI needs to carry out planned burns in safe conditions. Generally, the most suitable weather for planned burning occurs in autumn. The weather is stable for several days in a row,
with cool, damp nights. This allows fire-fighters to ignite and patrol planned burns.
Last season 38 burns were conducted in the Port Phillip Region treating 4,072 hectares.

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;
 biodiversity, 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 – Melbourne Water Planned Burns. Melbourne Water, in conjunction with the Country Fire Authority, undertakes a number of planned burns within the Country Area
of Victoria (non-Fire Protected Area).
Schedule 5 – Melbourne Bushfire Protection Program. The Melbourne Bushfire Protection Program, managed by Parks Victoria, on behalf of DEPI focuses on improving and
enhancing existing fire protection works in the outer metropolitan area.

EAST METROPOLITAN 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, treatment of hazardous trees, 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, 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, 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 Industries (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 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.
Strategic fuelbreak construction is included on this Fire Operations Plan for information only; it is approved via a separate DEPI planning process.
No new strategic fuelbreaks are being constructed in the East Metropolitan District. Maintenance and improvement works for existing fuelbreaks are listed in the
Melbourne Bushfire Protection Program Schedule 5.

YARRA 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, treatment of hazardous trees, 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, 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, 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 Industries (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 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.
Strategic fuelbreak construction is included on this Fire Operations Plan for information only; it is approved via a separate DEPI planning process.
No new Strategic Fuelbreaks are being constructed in the Yarra District. Ongoing maintenance and slashing works are included as part of annual works program.

SCHEDULE 5: Melbourne Bushfire Protection Program
In July 2009, the Victorian Government announced a 4 year boost to funding for outer suburban fire protection works. The Melbourne Bushfire Protection Program, managed by Parks
Victoria, on behalf of DEPI focuses on improving and enhancing existing fire protection works in the outer metropolitan area. This includes a range of parks such as Dandenong
Ranges National Park, Warrandyte State Park, Mornington Peninsula NP, Point Nepean NP, Arthur’s Seat State Park, Plenty Gorge Parklands, Yarra Valley Parkland, Dandenong
Valley Parklands, Braeside Park and Mullum Mullum.
The following details the proposed works for the upcoming 2013-2014 season.
