Human Settlement Areas

Created 25/06/2025

Updated 25/06/2025

Human Settlement Areas or HSAs are defined as where people live or work. This dataset has been developed by the State Fire Management Council or SFMC to define the extent and name of each HSA for the purposes of bushfire mitigation planning. The HSA dataset intentionally seeks to identify "clusters" of population density and does not map every residence or workplace in Tasmania. While all efforts have been taken to ensure the accuracy of this dataset, there may be errors and/or omissions in the data presented. Users of this product are advised to independently verify data for accuracy and completeness prior to use. The HSA dataset is currently maintained by the Fuel Reduction Unit, Tasmania Fire Service.
