CFA works together with many other organisations. This section of the website aims to explain how CFA works with Local Government and other agencies to best protect Victoria.

Municipal councils and CFA Areas work in close association to provide efficient and effective fire prevention and mitigation programs that reflect local needs.

Municipal fire prevention planning encourages partnerships between local government, other government and non-government agencies, the private sector and community groups. Essentially, Municipal Fire Prevention Planning involves:

  • The identification of areas, buildings and land uses at particular risk in case of fire
  • Specification of the treatment of those identified risks
  • Specification about who has responsibility for treating those risks.

Important Note: The native vegetation removal exemptions for wildfire safety have changed. To meet the exemption residents must undertake a site assessment and prepare a plan which is then lodged with DSE.
