Updated 13/05/2025

The Bush Fire Prone Areas 2017 dataset identifies bush fire prone areas of Western Australia as designated by the Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner on 1 June 2017. This dataset is provided for historical reference purposes and is superseded by the Bush Fire Prone Areas 2019 dataset (OBRM-013). Bush fire prone areas are subject to, or likely to be subject to, bush fire attack. A bush fire prone area is identified by the presence of and proximity to bush fire prone vegetation, and includes both the area containing the bush fire prone vegetation and a 100 metre buffer zone immediately surrounding it. Please be advised of a supplementary designation of bush fire prone areas within the Shire of Esperance on 12 July 2017. Refer dataset Bush Fire Prone Areas designated on 12-07-2017 (OBRM-010). More information is available from Office of Bushfire Risk Management (OBRM). Contact: Office of Bushfire Risk Management, 9395 9842, obrm@dfes.wa.gov.au
