Hornsby/Ku-ring-gai BFMC Bush Fire RiskManagement Plan 2016

Ku-ring-gai Central - Map Display AreaMap 5 of 6

DRAFTThis Bush Fire Risk Management Plan (BFRMP) has been prepared by the Hornsby/Ku-ring-gai Bush FireManagement Committee (BFMC) pursuant to section 52 of the Rural Fires Act 1997.The aim of this BFRMP is to reduce the adverse impact of bush fires on life, property and the environment.The objectives of this BFRMP are to:- reduce the number of human-induced bush fire ignitions that cause damage to life, property or the environment;- manage fuel to reduce the spread and intensity of bush fires while minimising environmental/ecological impacts;- reduce the community's vulnerability to bush fires by improving its preparedness; and- effectively contain fires with a potential to cause damage to life, property and the environment.

This map forms part of the BFRMP for the Hornsby/Ku-ring-gai BFMC, covering the local government area(s) ofHornsby and Ku-ring-gai. It should be viewed in conjunction with the accompanying BFRMP document which providesfurther details on the BFMC area, the assets assessed and the risk assessment process used.

ReviewUnder the Rural Fires Act 1997 this plan must be reviewed and updated within each successive five year periodfollowing the constitution of the BFMC. The Hornsby/Ku-ring-gai BFMC will also review this plan as necessary. Thismay be triggered by a range of circumstances, including but not limited to:- changes to the BFMC area, organisational reponsibilities or legislation;- changes to the bush fire risk in the area; or- following a major fire event.AssetsThis BFRMP identifies the assets that are considered by the Hornsby/Ku-ring-gai BFMC and community to be at riskfrom bush fires, assesses the bush fire risk to each asset and assigns treatments designed to mitigate the risk. Assetsin the BFMC area identified as requiring treatments are listed in the assets table. Other assets within the BFMC areathat were assessed as not requiring treatments within the life of this plan are listed in the appendix to the BFRMPdocument. The Map Ref number "NA" denotes non-spatial assets.TreatmentsSpecific treatments assigned to assets in the Hornsby/Ku-ring-gai area are listed in the treatments table and linked tothe assets which they are designed to protect. Standard BFMC wide treatments (i.e. not linked to a specific asset)which occur on an ongoing basis within the BFMC area are:- reviewing the bush fire prone land map;- ensuring developments in the bush fire prone land comply with Planning for Bush Fire Protection;- using the Local Environment Plan/s (LEPs) to control development in areas with a bush fire risk;- varying the standard bush fire danger period as required;- requiring permits during bush fire danger periods- prosecution of arsonists/offenders- investigation of bush fire cause;- normal fire suppression activities;- assessing and managing compliance with strategic fire-fighting resource allocation management systems;- preparation of a S52 Operations Coordination Plan;- fire management plans or plans of management; and- bush fire hazard complaints.Note on LMZ: All areas not specifically mapped as an APZ, SFAZ or FEZ are considered as LMZ for this riskmanagement plan. For areas identified by an LMZ polygon on the map, please refer to the BFRMP document for thespecific land management objectives.

Zone Purpose Suppression Objective(s) Zone characteristics Asset Protection Zone

To protect human life, property and highly valued public assets and values.

To enable the safe use of Direct Attack suppression strategies within the zone. To minimise bush fire impacts on undefended assets.

As per RFS document Standards for Asset Protection Zones.

Strategic Fire Advantage Zone

To provide strategic areas of fire protection advantage which will reduce the speed and intensity of bush fires, and reduce the potential for spot fire development; To aid containment of wildfires to existing management boundaries.

To improve the likelihood and safe use of: Parallel Attack suppression strategies within the zone. and/or Indirect Attack (back burning) in high to very high fire weather conditions within the zone. To reduce the likelihood of: Crown fire development within the zone. and/or Spot fire ignition potential from the zone.

Zone width related to suppression objectives and dependant upon: - Topography - Aspect - Spotting propensity - Location of adjacent firebreaks - Mosaic pattern of treatment Assess Overall Fuel Hazard (OFH) once vegetation communities reach minimum fire thresholds within this plan. Management practices should aim to achieve mosaic fuel reduction patterns so that the majority of the SFAZ has an OFH of less than high.

Land Management Zone

To meet relevant land management objectives in areas where APZs or SFAZs are not appropriate.

As per the land management and fire protection objectives of the responsible land management agency. To reduce the likelihood of spread of fires. To undertake mosaic burning

As appropriate to achieve land management e.g. heritage and/or fire protection e.g. broad scale mosaic burning objectives.

Fire Exclusion Zone

To exclude bush fires.

N/A Variable dependant on size of fire sensitive area requiring protection.
