Each priority bushland reserve has one or several individual Fire Management Units (FMUs) within
its boundaries. FMUs allow portions of a reserve to be burnt at any one time, rather than the entire
reserve, to help maintain biodiversity. FMU boundaries are defined by the topography of the site,
presence of existing fire trails and natural fire breaks such as waterways, and distinct vegetation
types that require different fire regimes. Priorities for works on individual FMUs can be informed by
existing Fire Management Plans (FMPs), recent fire fuel load assessments or other on ground
assessments. FMUs along common boundaries with private landowners will be a higher priority.
The finalised listing of priority reserves and Fire Management Units (FMUs) is updated on an annual
basis. This listing informs the Council’s 5-Year Operational Plan and works program including fire
trail maintenance, fuel reduction zones (FMZ) and planned burns.
