Question On Notice No. 640 asked in the Legislative Council on 13 March 2018 by Hon Diane Evers

Question Directed to the: Minister for Environment
Parliament: 40 Session: 1
Tabled Paper No: 1266- View tabled paper


Question

For the years 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17, will the Minister please provide a table for the South West forest region showing for each of the three:
(a) the objectives for the prescribed burns in each season; and
(b) the area of prescribed burns in each season?

Answered on 11 April 2018

(a)        The burns have been listed by their burn identification code (Burn ID), and the Burn Name which indicates the location of the burn. The location name generally uses the forest block, park or locality of the burn.

 

It is not possible to provide the list of burn objectives due to the staff time that would be required to extract these from the individual burn prescriptions. The objectives relate to a range of values and issues contained within the burn. There can be a number of objectives for each burn undertaken. The Burn Purposes have been provided as a component of the burn summary tables.

 

(b)        The area of the burn has been interpreted as the treated area within the burn boundary [See Tabled Paper No. #].
