The Parks and Wildlife Service has finalised a fire management plan for the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area.
TWWHA Fire Management Plan (PDF 18Mb)
The development of the fire management plan was a recommendation in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan (2016) and the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Bushfire and Climate Change Research Project.
The TWWHA Fire Management Plan provides a strategic and comprehensive management framework for guiding fire management and mitigating bushfire risk into the future.
PWS undertook significant stakeholder and public engagement to develop the plan and thanks those who contributed to the plan's development.
