Tasmania Parks & Wildlife Service

The Parks and Wildlife Service is responsible for the management of bushfires on all reserved land in Tasmania.

 

This management includes:

 

control of unplanned bushfires;

planned burning to reduce fuel loads and make fire control easier and safer;

planned burning to help maintain biodiversity, promote regeneration of plants that depend on fire and to maintain suitable habitat for animals; and

maintaining assets that assist with bushfire control, for example, fire trails, firebreaks and waterholes.
