Vicmap Admin - Country Fire Authority (CFA) District Polygon

dataset: CFA_DISTRICT
Part of the Vicmap Admin dataset series. This layer contains polygon features delineating the current Country Fire Authority District Boundaries. CFA has moved to align their administrative boundaries to the Victorian Government Regional Departmental Boundaries and Victorian Local Government Boundaries. As a result of this direction, from 1st July 2010, what was once known as CFA Regions will now be known as CFA Districts. Originally there were 20 Districts in this dataset. A new district (District 27) was added on 29 October 2015 bringing the total to 21 Districts. The Districts are based on Victorian Local Government Boundaries. There are two exceptions in this dataset. In June 2011, Bass Coast Shire became part of District 8 when the Victorian Government Regional Departmental Boundaries indicated that it should be part of District 9. In October 2012, Yarriambiack Shire was divided using the east-west rabbit fence (same as the Total Fire Ban District Boundary) which impacts on the District 17 and 18 Boundary.

Lineage

Description
The CFA District Boundaries are derived from dissolving the Victorian Local Government Boundaries based on those that have been allocated to make up each CFA District. There is one exception with the boundary between District 17 and 18 where it runs through Yarriambiack Shire. This section is the same as the Total Fire Ban District Boundary. It follows the east-west rabbit fence. The fence doesn't exist today, but followed the southern side of Galaquil East and Galaquil West Roads. This section of the boundary was therefore created using the linework of these roads in Vicmap Transport. The MFB Metropolitan District has then been cut out.
