The Parks and Wildlife Service is working to develop a fire management plan for the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area as required by the 2016 Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan.
The development of the plan was also a recommendation of the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Bushfire and Climate Change Research Project (Recommendation 1).
The TWWHA Fire Management Plan will provide a strategic and comprehensive management framework for guiding fire management and mitigating bushfire risk into the future.
The Fire Management Plan is a non-statutory subsidiary plan to the 2016 Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area Management Plan.
The Draft Plan is now available for public comment.
Have your say
The Parks and Wildlife Service invite public comment into the draft plan. Written submissions will be accepted until 5.00pm Friday 22 October 2021.
