FPC: Plantation fire management and protection

Fact sheet
Fire is a significant threat to plantation investment. All shires in the South West region require a Plantation Management Plan (PMP) to establish a plantation, and fire management is an important part of this plan.

Protection starts with site selection and design, which takes into account remnant vegetation and landscape features such as hills and surrounding land uses. Plantations are best protected from fire if sound management practices are in place and landholders have access to trained fire suppression resources.
