Project goal

Assesses the current bush fire risk across the state

Assesses the maximum impact of bush fire risk across the state.

Assesses the efficiency of potential future Annual Works Plans across the state.

Assesses the impact of bush fire mitigation undertaken the previous year.

Assesses factors that affect the bush fire risk in a BFMC to inform BFRMPs.

Assesses which ignitions could impact the asset of interest and the time to impact.

Assesses different treatment options to understand the differences in risk reduction.

Assesses different treatment options to understand the differences in risk reduction.
