Over time there has been various releases of the BFPL Mapping Guide, in which the categories and types of vegetation included in the BFPL map have changed. The version of the guide under which, each polygon or LGA was certified is contained in the data. An area of land that can support a bush fire or is likely to be subject to bush fire attack, as designated on a bush fire prone land map. The definition of bushfire vegetation categories under guideline version 5b: \nVegetation Category 1 consists of: \n\nAreas of forest, woodlands, heaths (tall and short), forested wetlands and timber plantations. \nVegetation Category 2 consists of: \nRainforests. \nLower risk vegetation parcels. These vegetation parcels represent a lower bush fire risk to surrounding development and consist of: - Remnant vegetation; - Land with ongoing land management practices that actively reduces bush fire risk. \nVegetation Category 3 consists of: \nGrasslands, freshwater wetlands, semi-arid woodlands, alpine complex and arid shrublands. \nBuffers are created based on the bushfire vegetation, with buffering distance being 100 metres for vegetation category 1 and 30 metres for vegetation category 2 and 3. Vegetation excluded from the bushfire vegetation categories include isolated areas of vegetation less than one hectare, managed lands and some agricultural lands. Please refer to BFPL Mapping Guide for a full list of exclusions.The legislative context of this dataset is as follows: On 1 August 2002, the Rural Fires and Environmental Assessment Legislation Amendment Act 2002 (Amendment Act) came into effect.The Act amended both the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Rural Fire Services Act 1997 to ensure that people, property and the environment are more fully protected against the dangers that may arise from bushfires. Councils are required to map bushfire prone land within their local government area, which becomes the trigger for the consideration of bushfire protection measures when developing land. BFPL Mapping Guidelines are available from www.rfs.nsw.gov.au\nThis dataset is update upon certification of each LGA BFPL change or spot change.\n", "num_resources": 1, "num_tags": 4, "organization": {"id": "8b43371f-3712-465f-8738-2edad89619f9", "name": "nsw-rural-fire-service-datansw", "title": "NSW Rural Fire Service", "type": "organization", "description": "The NSW Rural Fire Service (NSW RFS) is the lead combat agency for bush fires in NSW. For over 100 years we have been a significant part of the history and landscape of NSW. Working closely with other agencies we respond to a range of emergencies including structure fires, motor vehicle accidents and storms that occur within rural fire districts.\r\n\r\nThe NSW RFS is widely acknowledged as the largest volunteer fire service in the world. Members of the NSW RFS are trained to very high levels of competence to ensure they know what to do in an emergency.\r\n\r\nThe Service aims to reduce the likelihood and consequence of fires occurring. This involves comprehensive risk management programs to reduce bush fire hazards, reduce fire ignitions and the development of regulations for bush fire prone areas.", "image_url": "", "created": "2025-06-24T06:11:57.638454", "is_organization": true, "approval_status": "approved", "state": "active"}, "original_harvest_source": {"site_url": "https://data.nsw.gov.au/data/", "href": "https://data.nsw.gov.au/data/dataset/nsw-nsw-bush-fire-prone-land", "title": "DataNSW"}, "original_name": "nsw-nsw-bush-fire-prone-land", "owner_org": "8b43371f-3712-465f-8738-2edad89619f9", "private": false, "promotion_level": "0", "remote_last_updated": "2020-06-22 05:51:33.085018", "spatial": "{\"type\": \"Point\",\"coordinates\": [147.0179,-32.1618]}", "spatial_coverage": "New South Wales (NSW81093)", "state": "active", "temporal_coverage_from": "2013-07-01 00:00:00", "temporal_coverage_to": "2019-06-06 00:00:00", "title": "NSW Bush Fire Prone Land", "type": "dataset", "unpublished": false, "url": null, "version": null, "extras": [{"key": "harvest_object_id", "value": "c84ada78-44be-4027-b8f9-311aa5fe6436"}, {"key": "harvest_source_id", "value": "9ebac586-8e51-4904-9f6c-d9b79726659a"}, {"key": "harvest_source_title", "value": "DataNSW"}], "resources": [{"cache_last_updated": null, "cache_url": null, "created": "2019-06-06T00:36:21.663687", "datastore_active": false, "datastore_contains_all_records_of_source_file": false, "description": "This is a link to check if a property is in BFPL.
