Dataset Number 679 Dataset Title Bushfire Protection Areas Custodian Data Authority: Department for Trade and Investment Data Provider: Department for Trade and Investment

Description Description The Bushfire Protection Areas shows the spatial extent of the Bushfire Protection provisions brought in under the Ministerial Bushfire Management PAR in 2006/2007. Bushfire Protection Areas exist in the South East Region of South Australia, Riverland, Kangaroo Island, Mt Lofty Ranges and Mid North, Yorke Peninsula and Eyre Peninsula. The level of bushfire risk is rated as High, Medium, General or Excluded and determines the Planning Approvals plus requirements under the Australian Building Code and Australian Standard AS 3959 for the construction of dwellings in the defined Bushfire risk areas. Some areas have criteria that, if met, will change the designated level of bushfire risk. Usage For the identification of the spatial extent of Bushfire Protection Areas in the Development Plan. The dataset is used for mapping in the Bushfire Development Assessment Web Mapping Application and in DPTI's Bushfire Risk Level Online Search Tool.

Data Quality Lineage Bushfire hazard rating was calculated using McArthurs fire model. Inputs to this include fuel load, slope, aspect and weather (temperature and humidity). The bushfire protection areas were then derived from this bushfire hazard rating and were snapped to the digital cadastre. Boundaries & codes verified and checked by DPTI. Completeness Complete for all 39 local council areas that currently have Bushfire Protection Areas in their Development Plan. Positional Accuracy Same as DCDB
