Fuel Hazard Management Units

dataset: FUEL_HAZ_MGT_UNITS
This layer represents polygon boundaries that define the Fuel Hazard Management Units to calculate compliance with the 'Fuel Hazard in Fire Management Zones' provisions of the Code of Practice for Timber Production 2014 (as amended from time to time) (the Code). The definition provided in the Code (Amended 2022) is: 'fuel hazard management unit' means an area of land of that description shown in the spatial information in the Fuel Hazard Management layer in the Victorian Spatial Data Library, published by the Secretary or delegate. A fuel hazard management unit typically encompasses several fire management zones across a broader landscape, region or district.

Purpose
The intent of this layer is to provide an authoritative boundary that harvesting compliance can be calculated by the harvesting entity, the Conservation Regulator and the community. The boundaries provide the management unit within which to calculate allowable timber harvesting areas calculated as 5-year rolling averages. These boundaries remain static even if Fire Management Zones (FIREFMZ) change, meaning that compliance can continue to be calculated in a reliable method.
