The Fire Management Area Committee Boundaries dataset defines the name and spatial extent of each of the 10 fire management areas for the State.

After a review of the strategic arrangements for bushfire fuel management in Tasmania, in 2012 changes were made to the Fire Service Act 1979. The changes administratively align the responsibility for the management of bushfire fuels across the State in recognition that it is a shared responsibility across all sectors including the public arena.

The fire management area committee structure was reviewed and there are now 10 fire management areas for the State, reflecting the broader landscape and strategic focus that is required. The final boundaries were in the Gazette on 11 September 2013.

The principal aim is to bring together the various stakeholders that manage land use across the State, to work together to effectively manage vegetation fuels for the mitigation of bushfires. The focus of Fire Management Area Committees is to prepare a fire protection plan for the Fire Management Area; and, identify and prioritise bushfire vegetation risks and prioritise strategic works to mitigate any perceived risks. The Fire Management Area Committees are supported by the SFMC.
