Stakeholder Analysis and Engagement Process Fire safety is a shared responsibility between individuals, the community, government agencies and organisations, and the private sector and requires a partnership approach. All stakeholders are given the opportunity to contribute to fire management planning and thus undertake appropriate action to address the risk of fire. Part 2 – Summary of Environmental Scan Extensive environmental scan information is contained in the Gippsland Regional Plan 2010 ( - The Gippsland Regional Plan website was launched in August 2012) and on the Latrobe City website. All data in Part 3 has been taken from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Census 2011 unless otherwise stated. The ABS Expanded Community Profile (i.e. place of usual residence) was used. Latrobe City is located in the Gippsland region of Victoria, about 150 kilometers south-east of Melbourne. The City is bounded by Baw Baw Shire in the north and north-west, Wellington Shire in the east and and South Gippsland Shire in the south-west. Latrobe is an urban and rural area with the majority of the population living in the urban areas. The City includes the four urban Centers’ of Traralgon, Moe, Morwell and Churchill. The City encompasses a total land area of about 1,425 square kilometers. Latrobe is a significant energy provider for Victoria, with brown coal mining used to generate electricity. Rural land is used mainly for dairy farming and coal mining, general farming and plantation forestry. Land Managers Source: DELWP PLM25 GIS dataset 2011 and DAFF 2013 Population, Demographic and Settlement Information Latrobe City is Victoria’s only eastern regional city, home to 73,929 residents and 5,019 businesses and is the residential and commercial hub of a larger catchment of 262,000 people stretching across the Latrobe Valley and Gippsland region.

Agriculture Fires occur regularly in this sector and are likely to continue to do so. Recent history indicates that significant damage occurs when a major fire burns through agricultural land in the municipality, causing significant loss and disruption. Fire agencies need to continue with all strategies to reduce the number of fires started by agricultural enterprises. This should fall in line with state-wide programs as the message is consistent. Fire Agencies also need to continue to ensure appropriate response arrangements are in place to deal with fires in the agricultural landscape across the municipality. Part 3 – Municipal Fire Management Objectives Plan Objectives These fire management objectives have been derived from the State Fire Management Strategy 2009, Appendix 1. Municipal Objectives Gippsland Regional Objectives Key Theme 1 Planning together The Latrobe Fire Management Planning Committee (FMPC) will consist of appropriate representatives from relevant fire agencies, local government and other agencies as appropriate. The committee will meet at least bi-monthly whilst establishing the initial FMP and then at least quarterly. The Latrobe FMPC will: Carry out a municipal risk assessment and treatment analysis using agreed consistent processes i.e. Victorian Fire Risk Register - Bushfire (VFRR-B). Victorian Built Environment Risk Assessment Process (V-BERAP) DELWP Bushfire Risk Landscape Tool Use municipal environmental scan data to inform the planning process. Key Theme 1 Planning together The Gippsland Regional Strategic Fire Management Planning Committee (RSFMPC) will consist of appropriate representatives from government and other agencies as outlined in the IFMP framework, will meet at least whilst establishing the initial Regional plan and then at least quarterly. To support the development of draft Fire Management Plans (FMP’s) for each Gippsland municipality the Gippsland RSFMPC will by June 30th 2011: Carry out a risk assessment for the Gippsland region which identifies Regional and above risks and provide a list of risks and recommended treatments to Gippsland Fire Management Planning Committees (FMPC’s) for consideration in the development of their draft plans. Ensure each FMPC has access to demographic, climate and population statistics and forecasts for their municipality to assist in the planning process. Carry out a stakeholder analysis and develop a
