The National Bushfire Historical Extents Dataset (version 3.0) represents the aggregation of jurisdictional supplied burnt areas polygons (except Northern Territory) that date from the late 1800's through to 2024. 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 extent dataset derived from the authoritative state and territory agencies.

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.

Apart from small updates to this dataset up until 30 June 2025 there are no plans for another major update to this Product.
