Fire Management Plan

Indigo Shire has a history of consistent and lengthy fire seasons due to its climate, topography and environment. The nature and lifestyle of Indigo Shire Communities create a range of risks associated with the occurrence of fire in the environment. This plan has been prepared by the joint efforts of emergency services and land managers to reduce the risk posed by fire to life and property throughout the Indigo Shire.

The Indigo Shire Fire Management Plan is a risk based plan, developed using the principles outlined in the Victorian government's Integrated Fire Management Planning framework, and the guide for fire management planning in part 6A of the Emergency Management Manual Victoria.
