The Municipal Fire Management Sub Plan is an integrated plan which is risk based, has regard to the social, economic, built and natural environment aspects of fire, and guides participants involved in fire management activities. It is consistent with the Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP) to ensure that the linkages across fire mitigation, preparedness, prevention, response and recovery programs are consistent and holistic. The plan also contains appropriate reference to other uses of fire, including agricultural, ecological and cultural applications.
The Plan was informed by emergency service agencies that have a responsibility for fire including Country Fire Authority (CFA), Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (DEECA), Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMVic) and other key stakeholders.
