THE state government is seeking local community feedback on the draft of its 10-year state bushfire management strategy.<\/p>\n

Victoria’s Bushfire Management Strategy focuses on the shared responsibility of government, land and fire agencies, the community and Traditional Owners to protect Victoria and its most valuable things from bushfire.<\/p>\n

The draft strategy documents the effects of bushfire on the community, including people, land, homes, businesses, infrastructure and the environment.<\/p>\n

The government says adopting a 10-year bushfire management strategy will help communities develop a common understanding of bushfire risk and thus help them to determine the right actions to reduce risk.<\/p>\n

Victoria is regarded as one of the most bushfire-prone regions in the world and has been home to fires of devastating impact including Ash Wednesday in 1983 and the 2015 Lorne-Jamieson Track fires, which burnt 2,500 hectares in the Otway Ranges in the Lorne-Wye River area.<\/p>\n

Minister for Environment Ingrid Stitt said it was very important Victorians had their say on the draft strategy.<\/p>\n

“We know that when communities understand bushfire risks and apply the right practical solutions, they reduce their exposure to bushfire hazards and become more resilient.<\/p>\n

“We want all Victorians to have their say and to help us set the 10-year plan for bushfire management across our state.”<\/p>\n

Minister for Emergency Services, Jaclyn Symes said from what recent times has told us, it’s to remain bushfire-ready.<\/p>\n

“This strategy will make sure Victoria improves our fire management activities for the next decade.”<\/p>\n
