Brief description

The Bushfire Boundaries - Historical Dataset (version 2) represents the aggregation of jurisdictional supplied burnt areas polygons that date from the early 1900's through to 2023 (excluding the Northern Territory). The burnt areas represent curated jurisdictional owned polygons of both bushfires and prescribed (planned) burns.

This dataset was produced under Work Stream 1C - Activity 3 of the National Bushfire Intelligence Capability; a collaborative partnership between the Australian Climate Services, CSIRO (NBIC), Geoscience Australia (GA), and the Emergency Management Spatial Information Network (EMSINA). Under agreement this Project (Activity 3) will release a nationally consistent, harmonised and standardised historical bushfire boundary dataset derived from the authoritative state and territory agencies in both 2023 (this dataset) and again in November 2024.

The information released within this dataset is reflective of the data supplied by participating authoritative agencies. It may, or may not, represent all fire history within that jurisdiction.

Maintenance and Update Frequency: annually

Statement:

This dataset extends upon the first version of this dataset to be built and released under the Australia Research Data Commons Project in early 2023.

This dataset (version 2) represents an updated aggregation of each jurisdiction (except the Northern Territory) fire history data to include information from the 2022-23 bushfire season.

Agencies who have provided data include:

· Australian Capital Territory Parks and Conservation

· New South Wales Parks and Wildlife Service

· Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service

· South Australia Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources

· Tasmania Department of Natural Resources and Environment

· Victorian Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning

· Western Australia Department of Fire and Emergency Services

Northern Territory Data:

The Northern Territory Government are progressing in the development of their Bushfire Boundary Capabilities. Work is underway with the relevant agency’s to be able to incorporate NT Government approved Historical Bushfire Boundary data in the future.

Product Standardisation:

The data provided by each jurisdiction is standardised and harmonised. This process maps the existing state/territory attributes to the National Data Schema that was agreed to and endorsed by the participating state agencies and the Australian Fire and Emergency Services Authorities Council (AFAC):
