TASVEG 5.0 Fire Attributes

Created 10/01/2026

Updated 10/01/2026

TASVEG 5.0 Fire Attributes is a derivative of the TASVEG 5.0 vegetation mapping layer and includes several attribute fields of relevance for bushfire management purposes. TASVEG 5.0 Fire Attributes builds on the work undertaken by Pyrke and Marsden-Smedley (2005) whereby three fire 'themes' (or attributes) were assigned to TASVEG vegetation communities. These themes aim to reduce the complexity in TASVEG classification and assist with decision making by fire managers during suppression operations and fire management planning. The 'September snapshot' version of this layer refers to the generation of the layer in September each year prior to the commencement of the upcoming fire season.

TASVEG mapping is indicative only. Whilst extensive checks are applied to release versions of TASVEG, confirming the presence or otherwise of TASVEG communities requires field validation by a qualified practitioner.
