Sustainable Land Management

Mitigating the impacts from bushfires requires a landscape view and commitment from all to implement works at an individual scale to achieve the common objectives. There are many contributing factors that have made our community increasingly vulnerable to the effects from bushfire.

We use integrated approaches to fire management which greater emphasis on addressing underlying causes and seek long-term, sustainable options by providing land and vegetation management solutions.

Fighting fires is only one facet of fire management, the hard work is getting the prevention and mitigation work effectively and sustainably implemented. Managing fuel continuity and accumulation adjacent to critical infrastructure, communities and environmental assets infrastructure can reduce the potential risks and impacts from uncontrolled fire.

Vegetation Management Plans

Reducing the vegetation adjacent to critical infrastructure and assets is a key component to reducing bushfire potential. The intensity and spread of a fire are significantly influenced by various factors, including weather conditions, topography, and the vegetation present on your property. While we can’t control the weather, we can certainly take action regarding the vegetation.

Understanding Bushfire Fuel

Efficiently controlling the fuel load in the vicinity of your property considerably heightens the chances of your home surviving a bushfire. By limiting the available fuel, the fire’s progression can be slowed down, making it easier to manage and contain.

Reducing the fuel load not only serves to protect your home but also benefits neighbouring properties and the local community. Furthermore, it significantly eases the task of firefighters in managing a blaze when property owners adhere to a comprehensive fuel management plan.

Our comprehensive fuel management plans span from individual private properties to expansive parks and reserves. If there’s a bushfire risk, we’re here to help mitigate it.

Key Elements of Our Fuel Management Plans:

Fuel load assessments
Identification of vegetation types and management options
Assessment of potential fire behaviour
Tree trimming
Vegetation removal
Mowing and slashing
Planning for prescribed burning
Execution of prescribed burning

Bushfire Training

North Australia Bushfire Solutions has a rich history of collaboration with large organisations including government agencies, landholders and Indigenous groups and communities across northern Australia aiming to support and develop Bushfire Mitigation Programs and deliver practical, dynamic training.

Community Engagement

Northern Australia Bushfire Solutions thrive on engaging with communities to facilitate involvement in decision making and sharing responsibility in managing bushfire risk. We recognise the expertise that exists within communities and on country and work towards a collaborative approach to bushfire mitigation and response.

Prescribed Burning

North Australia Bushfire Solutions has extensive experience in planning and managing prescribed burns in the savannah grasslands of northern Australia and the deserts landscapes further south. Controlled (Planned) burns are commonly employed to protect critical assets and infrastructure, reduce fuel loads, promote biodiversity and mitigate the risk of uncontrolled wildfires. Traditional landowners and pastoralists often plan controlled burns during specific seasons based on factors such as weather conditions, fuel load, and ecological considerations.

“As the fire officer at Central Land Council I work closely with Brett and the team, they have successfully delivered a variety of training courses throughout the region. They are both professional and conciseness in their delivery and possess the ability to be flexible when needed, tailoring the course and its contents if required. Their knowledge and understanding of indigenous cultural practices is pivotal in meeting the needs of our constituents and work. CLC wish to extend its appreciation to the team for their continued work and support and look forward to 2022.”
