Description Description BMAP Assets are assets at risk of bushfire, as identified in South Australia's nine Bushfire Management Area Plans (BMAPs). Each BMAP asset is assigned a risk rating of either low, medium, high, very high, or extreme. Assets may be assigned risk reduction "treatments" to reduce their level of risk. Where risk reduction treatments are assigned, the agency or agencies responsible for the treatment are also specified. BMAP Assets are captured in three datasets: BMAP Asset Points, BMAP Asset Lines, and BMAP Asset Polygons. This allows assets to be represented as either points (for example, a communication tower) lines (for example, a pipeline) or polygons (for example, an area of houses located at an urban/rural fringe). Assets are broadly categorised according to their value as either a "Human Settlement", "Economic Value", or "Social Value" asset. This is referred to as the "Asset Type". There is one other Asset Type, "Environmental", however, those assets are stored in a separate dataset named BMAP Environmental Assets. BMAPs are defined in Section 73A of the Fire and Emergency Services Act 2005. BMAPs can be viewed on the Bushfire Management Area Plans page on the State Bushfire Coordination Committee (SBCC) website. Further information is available on the SBCC website. In particular, the publication named The Bushfire Management Area Plan Handbook 2018 provides more information about BMAP Assets. Usage BMAP Asset data is primarily used by Bushfire Management Committee (BMC) member agencies and other stakeholders in bushfire management planning as described in Division 7 of the Fire and Emergency Services Act 2005. BMAP asset data helps those agencies and stakeholders prioritise risk reduction works and develop coordinated bushfire risk reduction strategies across the landscape.

Data Quality Lineage The BMAP asset data was maintained by the CFS Bushfire Management Planning Unit on behalf of South Australia's nine Bushfire Management Committees. The BMAP Asset data was initially captured from existing government datasets and through workshops with stakeholders in bushfire management planning. In some cases asset geometry was aligned to other state government datasets such as the digital cadastre. In 2022, regular updates to the BMAP assets GIS data were stopped. A notice was placed on each BMAP's online map stating "Due to instability in the existing software supporting the BMAPs, the BMAP Asset data displayed on the online maps can no longer be updated. The BMAP Asset data will continue to be displayed on the online maps for reference purposes. The 'Asset Treatment List' (also known as the risk register) for each BMAP is being updated, and can continue to be downloaded from the link on each plan map, but ongoing amendments to the content of the register will not appear on the maps. The procurement process to develop a new software solution to support BMAPs is underway." Updates to the BMAP Asset data displayed in the Location SA map viewer and on data.sa.gov.au also stopped at that time. Completeness Complete up until 2022 when updates to the BMAP Assets GIS data were stopped. See "Lineage" section for more information. Positional Accuracy Spatial accuracy varies within the layer.

Dataset Status Initially Acquired 2015 Last Updated 2022 Update Frequency Not Planned Maintenance Method Until 2022 updates to BMAP Asset data were approved in accordance with section 17 of the The Bushfire Management Area Plan Handbook 2018. Once approved, updates were carried out by the CFS Bushfire Management Planning Unit using a software system called BRIMS. Since 2022, the BMAP Assets GIS data is no longer being updated.
