Data Quality

Lineage	Bushfire Management Areas are determined by the State Bushfire Coordination Committee (SBCC) in consultation with key stakeholders. This is as determined by the Fire and Emergency Services Act (2005). BMA boundaries were initially aligned mostly to NRM boundaries and Local Government Areas. The Adelaide Metropolitan Area (area not officially gazetted) has been incorporated into the Adelaide Mount Lofty Ranges Bushfire Management Area, while awaiting the determination of the Designated Urban Bushfire Risk Area (DUBRA).
