Abstract
This dataset presents a three hourly accumulation of bushfire boundaries throughout the 2021/22 bushfire season (1/9/2021 - 30/4/22) 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 historical 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.

Lineage
Version 1 and 2 (2019/20):This dataset was first built by the Emergency Management Spatial information Network Australia (EMSINA), Geoscience Australia and Esri Australia staff in early January 2020 in response to the Black Summer Bushfires. The product was aimed at providing a nationally consistent dataset of bushfire boundaries. Version 1 was released publicly on 8 January 2020 through Esri AGOL software. Version 2 of the product was released in mid February as EMSINA and Geoscience Australia began automating the product. The release of version 2 exhibited a reformatted attributed table to accommodate these new automation scripts. The product was continuously developed by the three entities above until early May 2020 when both the scripts and data were handed over to the National Bushfire Recovery Agency. The EMSINA Group formally ended their technical involvement with this project on June 30, 2020. Version 3 (2020/21):A 2020/21 version of the National Operational Bushfire Boundaries dataset was agreed to by Australian Government. It will continue to extend upon EMSINA’s 2019/20 Version 2 product. This product is now owned and managed by the Australian Government Department of Home Affairs with Geoscience Australia identified as the technical partners responsible for development and delivery. Work on Version 3 begun in August 2020 with delivery of this product occurring on 14 September 2020.Version 4 (2021/22) - This dataset:A 2021/22 version of the National Operational Bushfire Boundaries dataset is being produced by Geoscience Australia. This product is currently (2021/22 season) owned and managed by Geoscience Australia, providing both development and delivery. Work on Version 4 begun in August 2021 with delivery of this product occurring on 1 September 2021.
