Description

Abstract:

Bushfires NT (Department of Environment and Natural Resources) is responsible for administrating the Bushfires Management Act 2016. Section 46 of the Act states that a person may apply to a fire control officer or fire warden for a permit to light a fire in the open air on land within a Fire Management Zone or within a fire danger area during a fire danger period.

An approved permit to burn is issued to an individual for a particular parcel(s) of land during a specified time frame.
This spatial dataset displays those areas that have been issued with an approved permit to burn. The areas are displayed as a polygon on the web application NR Maps http://nrmaps.nt.gov.au/nrmaps.html Only those areas within the scheduled time frame are displayed.

The dataset displayed on NR Maps does not include:
- locations where Prescribed Burns are conducted
- permits to burn within Emergency Response Areas (ERA's). Permits to burn within the ERA are authorised by the Northern Territory Fire and Rescue Service. For more information, please view www.pfes.nt.gov.au/Fire-and-Rescue/Fire-safety/Permits-to-burn.aspx

Data Quality

Lineage:The permitted burn areas are created by an appointed Fire Control Officer or Fire Warden according to the Bushfires Management Act 2016 and based on a physical assessment undertaken by an appointed officer or warden.

The permitted burn areas are generated using the Bushfires NT BEMS mapping interface and stored in an oracle database. The NR Maps web mapping application uploads permitted burn areas on a daily schedule.

Positional Accuracy:Fire Control Officers or Fire Wardens draw locations of permit areas on the Bushfires NT BEMS mapping interface as either a point, line or polygon within the defined parcel or address as noted on the Permit To Burn. The data may not accurately represent the actual burn location.

Attribute Accuracy:Each permit area will have descriptive details including the Permit Number, location of the permit area and the validation time.

Logical Consistency:Each Permit Number will have a geometry reference described using either a point, line or polygon.

Completeness:The dataset is updated daily on NR Maps.
