Fuel data describes the combustible materials in a defined space and its related attributes such as type, amount, structure and moisture. Accurate estimation of fuel, alongside information about the type of vegetation at a location, is key to managing and mitigating bushfire risk.
Multiple organisations across different jurisdictions collect and use fuel data. A coordinated approach and community standards are needed to harmonise, aggregate and share fuel data across different stakeholders.
This project:
Bushfire simulation developers now have access to improved fire behaviour predictions, leading to improved fire behavioural models. Access site-based observation data from the following bushfire surveys via EcoPlots:
API access is also available.
