Purpose:
Scheduling of fuel reduction and ecological burning is carried out through rolling three-year Fire Operations Plans. This dataset represents the spatial extent of prescribed burns planned for ignition on Public Land in Victoria for a three year period. Each three year period is prepared annually and included on a Fire Operations Plan.

Additional Metadata:
Relationship to other Datasets: When burn operations are conducted the spatial extent of the area burnt will be recorded in the FIRE_HISTORY and FIRE_HISOTRY_LASTBURNT datasets. These layers represent the spatial extent of both Prescribed Burns and Wildfires.
Current Design Issues: The current layer design complements the comprehensive Burn & Works database in the integrated Fire Information System accessible via FireWeb. The EventID attributes allows the two databases to join
Future Design Issues: The current design represents the current three year period. Future annual plans may be integrated into a single dataset.
