SBMP FMZ

Strategic Bushfire Management Plan - Fire Management Zones

In the SBMP, Fire Management Zones are identified as a subset of BPAs where measurable fuel management treatments are applied. The location and alignment of these zones reflect the risk of bushfires starting and spreading, and impacting on life, property and other assets. Fire Management Zones form an integral part of the ACT Government’s approach to mitigating bushfire risk.

The zones established include Inner and Outer Asset Protection Zones, Strategic Firefighting Advantage Zones, Landscape Fire Management Zones, Agricultural Fire Management Zones and Aboriginal Fire Management Zones.

Fire Management Zones are the link between the SBMP and the on-ground implementation of fuel management practices and are defined by the ACT Bushfire Management Standards.&nbsp;

Fire Management Zones are reviewed annually to ensure they are kept up to date with the growing urban edge of the ACT. The Commissioner is responsible for approval of these maps.&nbsp;

Please refer to this page for more details on ACT Bushfire Management Standards.&nbsp;

SBMP BAZ

Part of the Strategic Bushfire Management Plan - Bushfire Abatement Zone



Under the Emergencies Act, the Commissioner has declared a BAZ. 



The BAZ surrounds Canberra and extends west towards the Murrumbidgee River. It is a subset of the BPA, and was developed to identify rural areas where specific measures are required to reduce risk to life and property to the built-up area of Canberra. These measures include land-use constraints, planning requirements for land managers (both public and private) and pre-incident planning for bushfires. 

The BAZ will be reviewed as required to reflect changes in land use and tenure, and will be approved by the Commissioner.

ACTGOV ACT Canopy Cover Map 2020

Welcome to the ACT Canopy Cover Map 2020
The following interactive map shows Canberra's tree canopy cover in 2020. Canberra's total 2020 tree canopy cover is estimated at 22.5%. The map uses LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data captured by Aerometrex and the ACT Government (available here). This canopy cover data product is available in the ACT Government's Open Data Geospatial Catalogue (available here).
Canopy coverage percentage is determined by the coverage of vegetation above 3m as detected by LiDAR to a 1m resolution (canopy polygons available here), divided by the area of a feature of interest such as a block, division or road polygon. The total tree canopy cover estimate for Canberra is based on the footprint of all urban divisions (suburbs).

ACTGOV ACT Wombat Mange Portal Map

Map showing ACT Wombat and Mange data summarised to the district level embedded in the Wombat mange project website (ACT GOV).

The ACT Government has a three-pronged campaign to better understand and deal with wombat mange. The project includes:


a new web portal to make it easier for the community to report wombats to capture where in the landscape healthy and unhealthy populations of wombats are occurring and so wildlife volunteers can quickly assess treatment options available.(please contact access Canberra for wildlife injured on our roads requiring immediate attention)
a new spatial support tool that maps wombat populations to help us understand the extent of mange and its effects on populations and to facilitate coordinated monitoring and treatment
an innovative research effort that will trial the remote delivery of a more effective and longer lasting mange treatment ACT Wildlife and Wombat Rescue are partnering with government on the project in an excellent example of how government and community volunteers can work together for good outcomes for a species in trouble. The University of Tasmania is providing advice from its own research and trials.

The wombat mange project progresses a commitment under the Parliamentary Agreement of the 10th Legislative Assembly to fund ACT Wildlife to undertake mange treatment in the ACT. Collaboratively, the ACT Government and community volunteers will deliver a coordinated and comprehensive mange treatment program across the ACT.

The project is part of a wider wombat management project being developed within ACT Government. More information: https://www.act.gov.au/environment/animals-and-plants/animals/wildlife-management/wombats

ACT Ecological Network Dashboard

Last updated: 22 November 2023

The ACT Ecological Network Dashboard summarises early outputs from the ACT Government's Urban Habitat and Connectivity Project, which brought together wildlife experts from across Australia to help inform the conservation of connected wildlife habitat in our urban area. For more details on this project, and the Connecting Nature Connecting People program which it supports, visit our&nbsp;website&nbsp;or email&nbsp;cncp@act.gov.au.

This dashboard focuses on a map, which has two main components. The Blue-Green Network provides a forward-looking vision for a connected network of wildlife habitat across Canberra. The UHCP Fragmentation Mapping reflect existing potential habitat for seven different species groups and indicate (via the use of colour) which potential habitat areas are ecologically connected to one another.

The dashboard can be used to help identify priority urban areas to protect, enhance and restore ecological connectivity and deliver best-practice outcomes for our urban wildlife.

ACT BLOCKS CANOPY COVER 2020

ACT Canopy Estimate Statistics 2020 for blocks, divisions and road polygons are derived from the ACT Canopy Cover 2020 footprint dataset (available soon). The canopy dataset is derived from LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data captured by Aerometrex and the ACT Government (available here) at 12ppm over the ACT and region in April 2020. This datasets provides the estimated % coverage of vegetation above 3m for blocks, division and road polygons current at 2021, and was completed by a collaboration between CED and TCCS, ACT Government. The canopy coverage % is determined by the coverage of vegetation above 3m divided by the area of feature (e.g. block area). The total tree canopy cover estimate for Canberra for 2020 is based on the footprint of all urban divisions (suburbs): 22.5%. View this data in our ACT Canopy Cover 2020 Interactive Web App.

&nbsp;

Data lineage: This dataset is derived from the Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data captured by Aerometrex and ACT Government over ACT in April 2020. The point clouds were processed by the ACT Government with ArcGIS to produce ACT Canopy Cover footprint for vegetation above 3m. Canopy modelling was completed at 1m resolution. The canopy footprints were then augmented to block, division and road polygon coverage statistics.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Coordinate system: GDA 2020 MGA Zone 55.

Temporal coverage: April 2020

Update schedule: every 5 years

Caveat: Comparison of the ACT 2020 Canopy Cover to the 2015 is not comparable due to differences in methodology, including differences in resolution and point density, and time of year the LiDAR was captured. The 2015 data was captured in late Autumn, whereas 2020 was captured in early Autumn.
