Description
The Bushfires NT Administrative Boundaries define the spatial extents of areas as determined by the Minister as statutory instruments under the Bushfires Management Act 2016, for the purpose of managing wildfire in areas outside of major towns in the Northern Territory.
The areas apply to all land tenures across the Northern Territory and exclude Emergency Response Areas (ERA's) as defined under the Fire and Emergency Act.
ERA's are small areas covering urban and urban-fringe development around major population centres and are managed by the NT Fire and Rescue Service (NTFRS).
Each of these boundary polygons are categorised into three dataset groups;
1. Fire Management Zones (previously referred to as Fire Control Regions): declared by Gazette notice under the Bushfires Management Act and establish an area for regional committees, regional bushfire management plans and have specific controls.
2. Fire Protection Zones: declared by Gazette notice under the Bushfires Management Act and are areas of identified higher risk and have specific controls.
3. Volunteer Bushfire Brigade Areas

Data Quality
Lineage:Each polygon was drawn using a GIS (ArcGIS) against the corresponding Northern Territory Government Gazettal description. Usually the boundary description referred to either named roads or cadastral property parcel number. In some instances reference is made to parcel numbers that no longer exist. A best fit option was used in these circumstances. Where the boundary description referred to a river, a background image was used to create the linework.
Feb 2018 - Fire Control Regions were renamed to Fire Management Zones; Arafura and Vernon were combined. All Emergency Response Areas were erased from Bushfires NT datasets to create donuts.
Oct 2019 - boundaries for Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and Katherine Fire Protection Zones were amended.
May 202 - Beatrice Hill Volunteer Bushfire Brigade Area renamed to Marrakai.
June 2022 - Timber Creek Emergency Response Areas added.
Positional Accuracy:These spatial datasets have polygon geometry. Linework was matched (snapped) to either road centrelines or cadastral boundaries where applicable and following the gazettal notice.
Attribute Accuracy:Each polygon has descriptive details including the name and date details from the Northern Territory Government Gazettal Notice.
Logical Consistency:GIS editing tools were used to rectify all overshoots and undershoots in line work. For individual areas, polygon topology rules applied are; must not overlap, must not have gaps and each polygon has only one label.
Where the areas have also been compiled into a singular NT wide dataset to assist data display, polygons may overlap. The polygons were merged in a GIS so that each area had only a single record, instead of creating additional polygons where overlaps occurred.
Completeness:This dataset may be regularly updated.
