Bushfires can have a long-lasting impact on lives, property, social settings, and critical infrastructure. Managed appropriately, the impact of bushfire events can be minimised.

Based on our understanding of bushfires and their behaviour, we review the potential bushfires risks and impacts and develop response procedures to bushfires and high-fire danger weather events.

Knowledge is power

The understanding of the potential bushfire risks and how they might be addressed is an important consideration as part of the operation of a facility or entity during the fire danger season.

We are able to provide comprehensive, insightful knowledge in varying forms, tailored to the stage of the project we are undertaking. We can offer our services from the initial concept stage through to completed projects with overlooked bushfire risk issues (which happens more often than you might think.)

We offer Due Diligence, with reviews of the potential bushfire risk for the site contributing to an overall site assessment that considers and provides expert advice on bushfire mitigation and the management of bushfire risk including areas such as environment, operations, vegetation, access/egress, landscape risk, ignition risk and human factors.

Our Bushfire Risk Assessments are comprehensive bushfire risk assessments that use methodology found in the AS/NZS ISO 31000:2009 and incorporated into the National Emergency Risk Assessment Guidelines (NERAG) which can be utilised when submitting a Development Application for Planning approval.

A Bushfire Emergency Management Plan may be a requirement for your development, as any tourist accommodation within bushfire-prone areas a required to have one, as well as other businesses operating in bushfire-risk areas under conditions that require a response to protect personnel or assets – A Bushfire Emergency Plan outlines how the facility managers will respond to bushfire emergencies and operate during days of forecast high fire danger, actual reported bushfires, and bushfire warning messages from the South Australian Country Fire Service. It is a comprehensive and detailed document that becomes a set of instructions for a bushfire (or predicted extreme fire weather) event.

The Bushfire Emergency Plan will contain information that can be used by management and staff and shared (as deemed relevant or appropriate) with site visitors, contractors, guests, and Emergency Services.

The proposed contents of the Bushfire Emergency Plan can include:

  • Site Overview
  • Communication plan
  • Bushfire risk assessment
  • Roles of staff and visitors
  • Bushfire response procedures (Actions to take on high fire danger days or reported bushfires)
  • Procedures for CFS Bushfire Warning messages
  • Evacuation Procedures (training and practising)

Following is a testimonial following our recent training workshop at Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary. Feel free to contact me if you need further info:

Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is the largest private owner and manager of land for conservation in Australia, effectively protecting wildlife and their habitat across more than 6.5 million hectares at over 30 locations. Managing fire is an essential part of our work. It helps to improve habitat for threatened wildlife, preserve fire sensitive plant communities, prevent wildfire and protect assets. We recently engaged Brett to run a training workshop at Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary in central Australia where he provided training in many aspects of fire management including aerial incendiary operation. Brett has enormous depth of knowledge and an engaging informative presentation style. He catered for the full range of skill and ability levels amongst participants and made sure everyone received the tuition they needed. We will continue to use SA Bushfire into the future and have no hesitation in recommending their services to others.
