Vulnerability: the susceptibility of an asset to the impacts of bush fire. 

 







 

1.1 Background 

Under the Rural Fires Act 1997 the Bush Fire Coordinating Committee (BFCC) must 

constitute a Bush Fire Management Committee (BFMC) for each area in the State, which 

is subject to the risk of bush fires. Each BFMC is required to prepare and submit to the 

BFCC a draft Bush Fire Risk Management Plan (BFRMP). 

A BFRMP is a strategic document that identifies community assets at risk and sets out a 

five-year program of coordinated multi-agency treatments to reduce the risk of bush fire to 

the assets. Treatments may include such things as hazard reduction burning, grazing, 

community education, fire trail maintenance and establishing community fireguard groups. 

Annual programs to implement the treatments identified in this plan will be undertaken by 

the relevant land managers and fire fighting authorities. 

In exercising its functions under the Rural Fires Act 1997, including the preparation of a 

draft bush fire risk management plan, the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby 

BFMC is required to have regard to the principles of ecologically sustainable development 

(ESD). 

This document and the accompanying maps together form the BFRMP for the Hunters Hill, 

Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area. This BFRMP has been prepared by the 

Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC and covers both public and private 

lands. This BFRMP must be reviewed and updated within each successive five-year 

period from the constitution of the BFMC. 

The BFCC recognises that climate change has the potential to increase bush fire risk. The 

risk assessment process applied in this BFRMP is based on current climatic conditions. 

The BFCC will monitor information on climate change and will modify the process when 

necessary. 

1.2 Aim and Objectives 

The aim of this BFRMP is to minimise the risk of adverse impact of bush fires on life, 

property and the environment. 

The of this BFRMP are to: 

reduce the number of human-induced bush fire ignitions that cause damage to life, 

property and the environment; 

manage fuel to reduce the rate of spread and intensity of bush fires, while 

minimising environmental/ecological impacts; 

reduce the community’s vulnerability to bush fires by improving its preparedness; 

and 

effectively contain fires with a potential to cause damage to life, property and the 

environment. 

 







1.3 Description of the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC 

Area 

 

The Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area is located in greater Sydney 

area of New South Wales and includes the Local Government Area/s of Hunters Hill, 

Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby. It also includes areas of the Lane Cove National Park. 

The area covered by the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC is 8,000 

hectares and includes the land tenures outlined in Table 1.1.

The typical/average climate* in the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area 

is: 

Mean daily maximum summer temperature of 27˚ C 

Mean daily minimum temperature in winter of 7 - 8˚C 

Mean annual rainfall of approximately 1,100mm 

10 – 11 wet days per month 

Mean wind speed at 9am of 9 -10km/hour 

(*Taken from an average of Sydney and Parramatta meteorological data) 

The localised conditions within Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC will vary 

due to local wind and temperature patterns formed by the orientation of and changes in 

landforms and vegetation cover. The bush fire season generally runs from October to 

March. 

Prevailing weather conditions associated with the bush fire season in the Hunters Hill, 

Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area are North-westerly winds accompanied by high 

daytime temperatures and low relative humidity. 

 







In terms of future climatic range, under current climate change impact models, reports 

released by CRC suggest that areas prone to bushfires, such as locales within Hunters 

Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC, ma y become hotter and drier, with greater 

prevalence of high wind conditions. Furthermore, current predictions propose an increase 

in very high and extreme fire danger day s. A manifestation of these bushfire-favouring 

factors must be taken into consideration by Land Managers when it comes to future 

mitigation practices for managing at-risk areas within the bushland urban environment 2 . 

 

 

 

 

The population of the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area is 

approximately 200,000 people. The major population centres are spread throughout the 

local government areas. The following issues have been identified within the Hunters Hill, 

Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area as potentially impacting on the ability of certain 

sections of the community to prepare themselves for bush fire: 

 

 

 

 

 

high levels of people with non English speaking background 

seasonal population changes e.g. high tourism areas, student accommodation, 

corporate accommodation 

corporate ownership of land 

areas with high residential turnover / rental accommodation 

large number of residential aged care facilities and schools 

2 BushFire CRC 2006 Fire Note Issue 4: Climate change and its impact on the management of Bushfire. 

 







 

The Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area has on average10 (ten) bush 

fires per year, of which 2 (two) on average can be considered to be major fires. 

The main sources of ignition in the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area 

are: 

 

 

 

 

Arson 

Electrical and lighting 

Cigarette butts 

Debris burning 

 







 

2.1 Process 

The Australia/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 4360: 2004 Risk Management was used as 

the basis for the risk assessment process. Figure 2.1 shows the steps involved in this 

process. For a detailed description of the process undertaken see the Bush Fire Risk 

Management Planning Guidelines for Bush Fire Management Committees on the RFS 

website: www.rfs.nsw.gov.au.

2.2 Communication and Consultation 

Community participation is an integral part of risk management. The Community 

Participation Strategy involved developing and implementing a process to address the 

needs, issues and concerns of stakeholders within the BFMC area in regards to the 

BFRMP. See Appendix 1 for the Community Participation Strategy used by the Hunters 

Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC in preparing this BFRMP. 

 







2.3 Identifying the Bush Fire Risk 

Identifying the level of bush fire risk firstly involved identifying important community assets 

considered to be at risk from bush fire in the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby 

BFMC area, and then assessing the likelihood and consequence ratings. 

 

BFMC members and the community, including New South Wales Community Fire Unit 

volunteers, identified assets within the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC 

that they believed were at risk of bush fire. 

The assets were divided into four asset types: 

 

Residential areas including urban bushland interface areas and rural properties; 

Special Fire Protection areas including schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and 

tourist facilities; and 

Other human settlement areas including commercial and industrial areas where 

distinct from major towns. 

 

Agricultural; e.g. major silos, regional saleyards, cropping/grazing land; 

Commercial/industrial e.g. major industries, waste treatment plants, sawmills; 

Infrastructure e.g. large power lines, gas and oil pipelines, railway lines, electricity 

substations, communication facilities; 

Tourist and recreational e.g. tourist sites and facilities, resorts, retreats; 

Mines; 

Commercial forests e.g. pine plantations, eucalypt plantations and commercial 

native forests; and 

Drinking water catchments. 

 

Threatened species, populations and ecological communities and Ramsar 

wetlands; 

Locally important species and ecological communities, such as species and 

ecological communities especially sensitive to fire. 

 







 

Aboriginal significance – Aboriginal places and items of significance; 

Non-indigenous heritage – places and items arising from the early occupation of 

NSW by European or other non-indigenous settlers; and 

Other cultural assets – community halls, clubs and recreational facilities. 

See for the full list of assets identified within the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane 

Cove, Willoughby BFMC area. Also refer to maps in for the location of assets 

to be treated under this BFRMP. 

 

Once the assets were identified, the consequence of a bush fire impacting on these assets 

was assessed. Refer to for the consequence ratings assigned to each asset 

identified in the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area. 

The different asset types had different assessment processes used to determine the 

consequence. These processes are identified below. 

 

A potential fire behaviour model using vegetation type, slope and separation distance was 

used to produce a threat rating for human settlement assets. The vulnerability of the asset 

to a bush fire was also assessed and a rating assigned. These ratings were then used to 

assess the consequence of a bush fire impacting upon a human settlement asset. 

Special Fire Protection (SFP) assets were considered inherently more vulnerable to bush 

fire due to mobility capacity, knowledge or other issues relating to their inhabitants, (e.g. 

the elderly, infirm, children or tourists) and therefore stricter requirements for vulnerability 

assessment and rating were applied. 

 

The level of economic impact e.g. local, regional or state, as well as the economic 

recovery costs (how long and complicated a financial recovery will be) of the asset were 

identified. These ratings were used to assess the consequence of a bush fire impacting 

upon an economic asset. 

 

Environmental assets with known minimum fire threshold were assessed to determine if 

they were at risk of a bush fire within the 5 year life of the BFRMP using fire history and 

fire threshold data. Those environmental assets which were within or above the fire 

threshold were not assessed in the BFRMP, as the negative impact of a fire within the 5 

year period was determined as being low and may even be of benefit to the asset and 

surrounding habitat. 

 







The vulnerability of an environmental asset was determined by its conservation status and 

its geographic extent (distribution across the landscape). Vulnerability and potential impact 

of bush fire were used to assess the consequence of a bush fire impacting upon an 

environmental asset. 

 

For non-indigenous historical, Aboriginal and other cultural assets a potential fire 

behaviour model using fuel load, slope and proximity was used to produce a threat rating. 

The physical vulnerability of the asset to a bush fire was also assessed. These ratings 

were then used to assess the consequence of a bush fire impacting upon a cultural asset. 

 

For all asset types the likelihood of a bush fire occurring was assessed. This involves 

considering fire history, including ignition cause and patterns, known fire paths, access, 

containment potential and potential fire run (size of the vegetated area). See Appendix 2 

for the likelihood ratings assigned to each asset identified in the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane 

Cove, Willoughby BFMC area. 

 

The consequence and likelihood ratings were then used to identify the level of risk. Refer 

to for the risk ratings assigned to each asset identified in the Hunters Hill, 

Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area. 

 

Once the risk ratings for each asset were identified, they were evaluated to: 

a.) confirm that risk levels identified in the risk analysis process are appropriate and 

reflect the relative seriousness of the bush fire risk; 

b.) identify which assets require treatments; and 

c.) identify treatment priorities. 

 

No organisation has limitless resources to deal with adverse risk. It is therefore necessary 

to define priorities. The bush fire risk ratings determined were used to prioritise the risk 

treatments, i.e. areas of extreme risk were considered first for treatment, then very high, 

then high then medium then low. It was also necessary to prioritise within the risk levels 

i.e. determining which of the high risks was the most serious. This was done on the basis 

of the consequence and likelihood ratings. 

 







 

Risks below a certain level were assessed as not requiring treatment within the life of this 

plan. This is due to a combination of the number of extreme and very high risk priorities 

and the capacity to undertake the works. Within the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, 

Willoughby BFMC area the level of acceptability is high. Areas of medium or low risk are 

likely to be managed by routine procedures and so do not require a specific application of 

resources. 

 







 

3.1 Bush Fire Management Zones 

Bush Fire Management Zones were identified within the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, 

Willoughby BFMC area and mapped (refer to maps in Appendix 4). These zones identify 

the fire management intent for a specific area. See Table 3.1 for descriptions of the zones 

and their purposes. The four categories of Bush Fire Management Zones are: 

Asset Protection Zone (APZ); 

Strategic Fire Advantage Zone (SFAZ); 

Land Management Zone (LMZ); and 

Fire Exclusion Zone (FEZ). 

Some of these zones (usually Land Management Zones) may be further classified within 

this category by the land manager, e.g. LMZ -Heritage Management Zone (NPWS). 

LMZs that have been identified as a polygon on the map will have defined management 

objectives. Below is a table listing each identified LMZ and its associated management 

objectives (Table 3.1).

the BFCC. 

 

All areas that are not mapped or described as APZs or SFAZs are considered as 

LMZs. 

 







3.2 BFMC Wide Treatments 

BFMC wide treatments are activities which reduce the overall bush fire risk within the 

BFMC area and are undertaken on an ongoing basis as part of normal business. These 

treatments are not linked to specific assets in the BFRMP, rather they are applied across 

all or part of the BFMC area as designated by legislation or agency policy. BFMC wide 

treatments include the following: 

 

These maps identify bush fire prone land and are used to trigger whether a 

development application is assessed using Planning for Bush Fire Protection 1 . 

Planning for 

Bush Fire Protection 

This assessment process requires new applications for development to include bush 

fire protection measures. 

 

 

LEPs can be used to exclude development in extreme bush fire risk areas or where 

bush fire protection measures cannot be incorporated. 

 

In years where the weather is particularly adverse the bush fire danger period may be 

brought in early or extended. This is assessed every year by the BFMC. 

 

In the bush fire danger period a fire safety permit is required to light a fire in the open. 

Permits specify conditions such as fire fighting equipment that must be on site, or 

restrict burns based on weather conditions. 

 

Under the Rural Fires Act 1997 persons may be prosecuted for breaching the 

conditions on a fire permit, lighting a fire during a Total Fire Ban, allowing fire to escape 

their property, or other breaches of the Act. 

 

All bush fires which do not have a known cause are investigated to identify how they 

started. The investigation of bushfires within the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, 

Willoughby BFMC area are only to be investigated by the Authority/Agency responsible 

for the Fire District in which the point of origin is located. Another Agency’s investigator 

may conduct the investigation in conjunction with the responsible Authority/Agency but 

only with approval from the responsible Authority/Agency. 

 

Responding to bush fire is a normal business activity for the fire fighting authorities. 

1 NSW Rural Fire Service 2006 Planning for Bush Fire Protection: A guide for councils, planners, fire 

authorities and developers. 

 







 

 

Strategic fire fighting resource allocation provisions is the process used to identify the 

number of stations, brigades and appliances required in an area, and considers 

members, training, assets and hazards. 

 

The Operations Coordination Plan is prepared biannually and sets out how coordinated 

fire fighting will occur. It includes specific operational restrictions on fire fighting 

techniques in certain areas, where fires will be managed from, and how agencies 

involved can communicate during operations. 

 

Some land management agencies have developed fire management plans or plans of 

management with specific fire or fuel management strategies, for example a Forests 

NSW Regional Fuel Management Risk Plan, a NPWS Fire Management Strategy. 

These publicly exhibited plans form the basis for operational fire planning on public 

parks, reserves and forests. 

 

If someone is concerned about possible bush fire hazards on a neighbouring property 

or any other land, then this can be reported to the RFS Commissioner, their local RFS 

Fire Control Centre or by submitting the online Bushfire Hazard Complaint form found 

on the internet site: 

http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/dsp_content.cfm?cat_id=1032 

The complaint will be investigated and may result in a notice being issued to the 

landowner or manager to reduce the hazard. 

Any notice issued to any Land Owner/Manager to reduce hazards by burning must 

state “…that hazard reduction by burning within the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, 

Willoughby BFMC area is only to be conducted by, or with the approval of, the 

responsible Authority/Agency of the relevant Fire District.” 

 







3.3 Asset Specific Treatments 

There are five broad strategy groups available to treat the bush fire risk to assets identified 

in the BFRMP. 

The types of asset specific treatments in each strategy group used in the Hunters Hill, 

Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area are listed below. A full list of the treatment 

strategies in the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area are in

3.5 Annual Works Programs 

The land management agencies and fire fighting authorities responsible for implementing 

the treatments identified in this plan will include those treatments in their annual works 

programs detailing how, when, and where the required activities will be undertaken. 

Prescribed Burning within the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area is 

only to be conducted by, or with the approval of, the responsible Authority / Agency of the 

relevant Fire District. 

3.6 Implementation 

When the treatments identified in this BFRMP are implemented there are a number of 

issues that need to be considered by the responsible agency including environmental 

assessments and approvals, smoke management and prescribed burn plans. 

 

In the Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC area backyard burning is not 

permitted by private landowners. They may however apply to Council for a burn to be 

undertaken by the New South Wales Fire Brigades. The issuing of permits/hazard 

reduction burning is not permitted during the bushfire season set by the Rural Fire Service 

and the New South Wales Fire Brigades. 

 

 







4.1 Review 

This BFRMP must be reviewed and updated within each successive five-year period from 

the constitution of the BFMC. The Hunters Hill, Ryde, Lane Cove, Willoughby BFMC will 

also review this plan as necessary to account for any changes in context or risk. This may 

be triggered by a range of circumstances, including but not limited to: 

changes to the BFMC area, organisational responsibilities or legislation; 

changes to the bush fire risk in the area; or 

following a major fire event. 

4.2 Monitoring 

The BFMC is required to monitor progress towards the completion of treatment works 

listed in the BFRMP, and the timeliness of the works. 

4.3 Reporting 

The BFMC is required to report annually to the BFCC on its progress in implementing the 

bush fire risk management activities identified in this plan. 

4.4 Performance Measurements 

State wide performance measurements which are linked to the BFRMP have been 

identified by the BFCC. All BFMC’s must use these to monitor and report on their success

This Bush Fire Risk Management Plan (BFRMP) has been prepared by the Hunters 

Hill, Lane Cove, Ryde, Willoughby Bush Fire Management Committee (BFMC) 

pursuant to section 52 of the Rural Fires Act 1997. 

The aim of this BFRMP is to reduce the adverse impact of bush fires on life, property 

and the environment. 

The objectives of this BFRMP are to: 

- reduce the number of human-induced bush fire ignitions that cause damage to life, 

property or the environment; 

- manage fuel to reduce the spread and intensity of bush fires while minimising 

environmental/ecological impacts; 

- reduce the community's vulnerability to bush fires by improving its preparedness; and 

- effectively contain fires with a potential to cause damage to life, property and the 

environment.

Review 

Under the Rural Fires Act 1997 this plan must be reviewed and updated within each 

successive five year period following the constitution of the BFMC. The Hunters Hill, 

Lane Cove, Ryde, Willoughby BFMC will also review this plan as necessary. This may 


- changes to the BFMC area, organisational reponsibilities or legislation; 

- changes to the bush fire risk in the area; or 

- following a major fire event. 

Assets 

This BFRMP identifies the assets that are considered by the Hunters Hill, Lane Cove, 

Ryde, Willoughby BFMC and community to be at risk from bush fires, assesses the 

bush fire risk to each asset and assigns treatments designed to mitigate the risk. 

Assets in the BFMC area identified as requiring treatments are listed in the assets 

table. Other assets within the BFMC area that were assessed as not requiring 

treatments within the life of this plan are listed in the appendix to the BFRMP 

document. The Map Ref number "NA" denotes non-spatial assets. 

Treatments 

Specific treatments assigned to assets in the Hunters Hill, Lane Cove, Ryde, 

Willoughby area are listed in the treatments table and linked to the assets which they 

are designed to protect. Standard BFMC wide treatments (i.e. not linked to a specific 

asset) which occur on an ongoing basis within the BFMC area are: 

- reviewing the bush fire prone land map; 

- ensuring developments in the bush fire prone land comply with Planning for Bush 

Fire Protection; 

- using the Local Environment Plan/s (LEPs) to control development in areas with a 

bush fire risk; 

- varying the standard bush fire danger period as required; 

- requiring permits during bush fire danger periods 

- prosecution of arsonists/offenders 

- investigation of bush fire cause; 

- normal fire suppression activities; 

- assessing and managing compliance with strategic fire-fighting resource allocation 

management systems; 

- preparation of a S52 Operations Coordination Plan; 

Note on LMZ: All areas not specifically mapped as an APZ, SFAZ or FEZ are 

considered as LMZ for this risk management plan. For areas identified by an LMZ 

polygon on the map, please refer to the BFRMP document for the specific land 

management objectives.
