Questions

Bushfire emergency management and evacuation plan: what people ask

Who needs a bush fire emergency and evacuation plan?

In NSW, at-risk developments on bush fire prone land, such as schools, child care centres, hospitals and tourist accommodation, may be required to have one by a condition of consent. The NSW RFS publishes a guide that walks through preparing it.

Can the plan rely on a neighbourhood safer place?

Not as the main option. The NSW RFS describes neighbourhood safer places as places of last resort in a bush fire, so a business plan should aim to leave early and use one only if other options fail.

Which Planning for Bush Fire Protection applies?

PBP 2019. The RFS exhibited a draft PBP 2026 from 6 August to 3 September 2026, but says the draft cannot be used or relied upon until it is published.
