Bushfire Mitigation Program
From 2009-2010, the funding for bushfire mitigation related projects previously offered under the Bushfire Mitigation Program (BMP) was incorporated into the Natural Disaster Resilience Program.
No further applications under the previous program will be accepted.
About the Bushfire Mitigation Program - The Bushfire Mitigation Program was a national program aimed at identifying and addressing bushfire mitigation risk priorities across the nation.
The program began in September 2004, when the Prime Minister announced the allocation of $15 million over three years for the construction, maintenance and signage of fire trail networks to assist local communities to better prepare for bushfires.
Fire trails are important resources in the facilitation of prevention and mitigation works. An effective fire trail network increases options available in implementing hazard reduction to protect communities and their social, cultural, environmental and economic assets.
