Bushfire Management Area Plans
Bushfire Management Committees
There are 9 Bushfire Management Committees across the state. Their key function is to bring together all relevant agencies and organisations with a direct interest in bushfire management and facilitate a coordinated and collaborative approach to bushfire management planning and implementation of mitigation strategies.
Each BMC is responsible for preparing and maintaining a strategic, risk-based Bushfire Management Area Plan (BMAP) for their designated Bushfire Management Area.
Important Update:
The Draft State Bushfire Management Plan 2021-2025 is now open for community comment. This Plan has been developed by the State Bushfire Coordination Committee to guide the key priorities for bushfire management in South Australia over the coming four years. To understand this document and its purpose please read this State Bushfire Management Plan Summary document. Go to YourSAy to provide your feedback.
