Appendix 2 - ANZLIC Core Metadata Requirements (Replace LGA in document with your Council’s name). Metadata Category Core Metadata Element Description Dataset ANZLIC Identifier Title LGA - Bushfire Prone Land Custodian Custodian NSW Rural Fire Service Jurisdiction New South Wales Description Abstract LGA bushfire prone land dataset contains two sets of information. One is bushfire vegetation, and the other is bush fire vegetation buffer. The definition of bushfire vegetation categories is as follows: • Bush Fire Vegetation Category 1 refers to forest, woodlands, heath, wetlands • Bush Fire Vegetation Category 2 refers to moist rainforests, shrublands, open woodlands, mallee and grasslands Buffer was created based on the bush fire vegetation, with the buffering distance being 100 metres for vegetation category 1, and 30 metres for category 2. Vegetation excluded from the bush fire vegetation categories are areas of vegetation less than one hectare, managed grasslands, managed botanical gardens, agricultural lands and mangroves. Areas of national parks and state forests estates are identified as bush fire vegetation category 1. The legislative context of this dataset is as follows. On 1 August 2002, the Rural Fires and Environmental Assessment Legislation Amendment Act 2002 (Amendment Act) came into effect. The Act amends both the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Rural Fires Act 1997 to ensure that people, property and the environment are more fully protected against the dangers that may arise from bush fires. The Amendment Act requires councils to map bush fire prone land within their local government area, which becomes the basis for planning for bush fire protection.
