Dataset Number 2204 Dataset Title Bushfire Safer Places Custodian Data Authority: Country Fire Service (CFS) Data Provider: Country Fire Service (CFS)

Description Description This dataset contains Bushfire Safer Places. It is displayed and explained further on the Bushfire Safer Places page on the CFS website. The following is an excerpt of part of the information on that page, taken in March 2021: "A Bushfire Safer Place is a place of relative safety. It may be used as a place for people to stay in or as a place of first resort for those who have decided they will leave high risk locations early on a high fire risk day. Properties on the edge of these locations generally face a higher level of risk compared with those nearer the centre of the area. The relative safety of these properties can be improved by property owners undertaking appropriate bushfire safety measures to ensure they don't place themselves and the greater community at risk." Usage The dataset is displayed on the CFS website and is available as open data on data.sa.gov.au.

Data Quality Lineage Bushfire Safer Places are assessed using AS 3959 - Construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas and the Radiant Heat Flux calculation tool from Newcastle Bushfire Consulting. The assessment of a Bushfire Safer Place takes into account vegetation type, site slope, vegetation slope, public safety issues and access. During an assessment, consultation may occur with relevant Local Councils, sporting or community groups, Government Departments, private landholders or groups and CFS (local and Region). Post field and in-office assessments, a recommendation report is generated for the relevant Bushfire Management Committee (BMC). The BMC must formally either endorse or reject the recommendation report. If endorsed, the Bushfire Safer Places dataset is updated from the assessment and aligned to the digital cadastre. Completeness Complete for Bushfire Safer Places approved by BMCs. However, this is a dynamic dataset that will change over time. Positional Accuracy Same as the digital cadastre database which boundaries are aligned to.
