What is a Bushfire Management Plan?

A BMP is typically required in relation to land use planning and development proposals. Here are some key situations where a BMP is required:

A Bushfire Management Plan (BMP) is a strategic document designed to reduce the risk of bushfire to life, property, and the environment. It outlines the strategies and mitigation measures that landowners can implement to manage bushfire risks effectively.

Development Applications: When submitting a development application for land that is designated as being within a Bushfire Prone Areas as identified by the Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES).

New Subdivisions: For new residential, commercial, or industrial subdivisions where there is a risk of bushfire, a BMP must be prepared to ensure that adequate fire management measures are in place.

Land Use Changes: Changes of land use within a bushfire prone area may require a BMP to be prepared. We can review the local planning framework and advise what documentation will be necessary to support your proposal.

In summary, a BMP is typically required in development contexts, particularly where new developments, subdivisions, or changes in land use are being proposed in areas at risk of bushfire. It is essential to consult the local government early in the process to understand what they require. Bushfire Logic has the experience necessary to help you navigate this often complex and confusing process and determine exactly what is required for your development or subdivision proposal.
