The Historical Bushfire Boundaries service represents the aggregation of jurisdictional supplied burnt areas polygons stemming from the early 1900's through to 2022 (excluding the Northern Territory). The burnt area data represents curated jurisdictional owned polygons of both bushfires and prescribed (planned) burns. To ensure the dataset adhered to the nationally approved and agreed data dictionary for fire history Geoscience Australia had to modify some of the attributes presented. The information provided within this service is reflective only of data supplied by participating authoritative agencies and may or may not represent all fire history within a state.

This report was prepared by Geoscience Australia for the Bushfire CRC. It is intended that this report be used as part of the background material for the reports prepared for the Royal Commission into the Victorian Bushfires 2009. This report contains a demographic analysis of some of the areas directly affected by the bushfires. The areas included in this report (with alternative fire names in brackets) are: Churchill (Churchill - Jeeralang) Bunyip (Bunyip SP - Bunyip Ridge Trk) Bendigo (Mainden Gully/Eaglehawk - Bracewell St) Kilmore (Kilmore East - Murrindindi Complex South) Murrindindi/Yea (Kilmore East - Murrindindi Complex North) Beechworth Horsham Narre Warren

This service represents operational bushfire boundaries updated on a 15 minute interval throughout the 2021/22 bushfire season (1/9/2021 - 30/4/2022) for all Australian jurisdictions who have the technical ability and/or appropriate licence conditions to provide this information. The accuracy and completeness of the data attributes within this webservice is reliant on each jurisdictional source and the information they elect to publish into their operational bushfire boundary data products. The update frequency of the underlying data varies across the jurisdictions and therefore data may not be present in some areas. No filtering has been performed where source data overlaps.

<div>The A1 poster incorporates 4 images of Australia taken from space by Earth observing satellites. The accompanying text briefly introduces sensors and the bands within the electromagnetic spectrum. The images include examples of both true and false colour and the diverse range of applications of satellite images such as tracking visible changes to the Earth’s surface like crop growth, bushfires, coastal changes and floods. Scientists, land and emergency managers use satellite images to analyse vegetation, surface water or human activities as well as evaluate natural&nbsp;hazards.</div>
