Bushfire Management Overlay

The Bushfire Management Overlay (BMO) is used to identify areas where the fire intensity level of bushfire is likely to pose a threat to life and property.

Shown on the planning scheme map as BMO or WMO with a number (if shown), it ensures that development within Bushfire Management Overlays (BMOs) includes specified fire protection measures to reduce the threat to life and property from bushfire.
