Dataset Number 1165 Dataset Title Proposed Burns Custodian Data Authority: Department for Environment and Water Joint Custodian: Department for Environment and Water Data Provider: Department for Environment and Water

Description Description The dataset provides mapping of proposed burns conducted by DEWNR. It also contains some Forestry and SA Water prescribed burns. The proposed burn boundary polygons is the Assessment Area (AA) that is the area used for the environmental assessment for a prescribed burn. Any vegetation within this boundary can potentially be burnt. The Planned Objective Area (POA) is an area that is planned to be burnt and the Treated Area (TA) is a percentage of the POA. With some proposed burns these areas may be the same where the AA is bounded by fire tracks and the TA will be 100% of the POA. This dataset supports applications used to manage fire management activities. Refer to Fire History for actual area burnt by completed prescribed burns. Usage Can be used for 1. Operational fire planning - to identify area for detailed prescribed burning operations plan. 2. Fire Planning - to show areas where prescribed burns are planned across a region or the state.

Data Quality Lineage Proposed Burns spatial data has been captured using varying capture techniques and can be captured through digitising from existing features such as park boundaries, roads and tracks, water courses, firehistory, ecological communities and aerial imagery. The proposed burn polygon which represents the assessment area will often abut fire tracks and park boundaries. In the larger remote parks, the proposed burn polygons may not be bounded by these features. Completeness *PROPOSED BURNS DATA ARE INCOMPLETE AND HAVE VARIABLE COMPLETENESS ACROSS THE STATE* 100% complete for the current prescribed burning season. Positional Accuracy Features are captured with respect to existing spatial data e.g., roads and tracks, reserve boundaries, DCDB, ecological communities and existing fire history etc.

Dataset Status Initially Acquired 01-JAN-2004 Last Updated CURRENT Update Frequency Daily Maintenance Method Routine updates on a regular basis as per business requirements. Data is updated prior to the current prescribed burning season for planning purposes. The field values are created from joining to an extract from the Fire Information Management System application.
