Brief description
The Historical Bushfire Boundaries service represents the aggregation of jurisdictional supplied burnt areas polygons stemming from the early 1900's through to 2022 (excluding the Northern Territory). The burnt area data represents curated jurisdictional owned polygons of both bushfires and prescribed (planned) burns. To ensure the dataset adhered to the nationally approved and agreed data dictionary for fire history Geoscience Australia had to modify some of the attributes presented. The information provided within this service is reflective only of data supplied by participating authoritative agencies and may or may not represent all fire history within a state.Lineage
Statement: This service represents an aggregation of each jurisdiction (except the Northern Territory) fire history data up to the end of the 2021-22 bushfire season. The data provided was placed into a data workflow to map existing attributes into the schema agreed to by the participating state agencies and the Australian Fire and Emergency Services Authorities Council (AFAC).text: westlimit=113.20; southlimit=-43.61; eastlimit=156.36; northlimit=-10.54; projection=WGS84 Web Mercator (EPSG:3857)
